If the pics are still on your SD card, try clearing data and cache for the gallery and reboot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
The pictures for your contacts are actually sync'd with your google account. So the pictures don't even need to be on your phone, unless you don't have all your contacts sync'd to your google account.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lowlywurm:
I could use help with this too. Photos gone, but I have 1 or 2 recent complete Titanium backups in the cloud. I tried dragging all contents of one of the backups to the Titanium Backup folder of the phone's SD card, and restoring the Gallery app, but no photos. Thoughts?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomass0:
Is it better to keep your phone on maximum brightness or lower to minimise screen burn? Generally whats better for the screen?

I know amoled screens suffer from banding and weird discoloration so I want to prevent anything funny.

OP it's a corrupted file on your sd card we had this problem on the s3. For some reason the easiest fix was backup your files format the SD card put your files back on it and you'll be good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fatannasty:
Quick update...I've had my old SD card in my phone all day, and it seems like the battery life is back to normal. So now im going to take everything off the 32 gig sd card then reformat to see if that helps. ..if not back to the manufacturer. ..I would like to say thank you everyone:) for all the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
Hey there is an app in the market called media rescan root it disables your media scanner helps dramatically with battery life. Also I have a question did you do the recent update? If you did then you now have the lte radio enabled. You have to turn it off in settings.

I am wanting to rip some movies to watch on my tablet or color and am just wanting to know which video format and resolution I should convert them to. I have never done this so help will be appreciated! Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
I'm assuming avi should work just fine.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shags72:
I have seen that format but there again, what resolution would be good for a tab?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
He resolution will just fit your screen accordingly. 720p should work fine. On the succulant build of cm10+ I've seen you can use 1080p mp4 using handbreak 9.4 (I don't know what this is though.)

Pretty much, use whatever resolution you want. 720p should be good though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shags72:
Thanks! I am using ojosoft to ripp to a format and it has like a whole bunch of different formats and different resolutions as subcategories(as seen in the attached captures) and this is only about a 3rd of the resolutions available. It is kinda cornfusing for someone who is just starting to do this kindas stuff.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
I see what you're doing now. AVI HD Video 720p will work just fine for the device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shags72:
Thanks! I will give that one a try then!:victory:

Hi guys,

Looking at my phone closely I see that the left side is close together with the chassis but on the right side there is more separation and not close together. What I mean is the black surrounding the screen.

Is this normal?

Mine is like that as well. I remember reading a while back that quite a few people have experienced this where one side has a reasonable gap. You could try getting it swapped?

Just realised mine is like this too, only a tiny bit on the top right corner. I wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't see this thread, but doesnt bother me too much - or would it cause probelms etc?

Right I actually don't know if mine is normal anymore, the more I look the more I get confused lol.. Anyway, got a few pics & I hope fellow xperia z users can help me determine if mine isn't right too? Would appreciate it, thanks! :)

Sorry for the quality of the pics too, was taken on the xperia neo! Don't know whether you can see clearly on it or not..?

3rd pic seems to be the clearest, the best way I can describe it is that I can put a needle between the gap, so if I am able to do that then does that mean my screen isn't fitted properly? I am only concerned in case it affects the water resistance, otherwise I don't think I'll send off to Sony, too much hassle & wait, plus don't like the thought someone else touching my phone :P

What I did was, i phoned sony (website) and they arranged a pick up. They picked it up today and they will send a new phone as soon as they recieve it!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
Ah thanks! I emailed them as it was a bank holiday on the Friday so couldn't phone, waiting for a reply to see what they say.

Any news on yours yet?

Not sure if I can be bothered to send my phone back & wait for them tbh, I can imagine they will take ages, prob up to a month or so. & who knows if they have actually replaced or sent back a 2nd hand one that's been repaired? :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rttnpig]:
They take up to a week beacuse they dont repair, they change for a new one.

Mine was sent on thursday, i guess they recieved it already so hopefully ill have a new phone by next week. Ill keep you updated.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
I guess I could wait a week, but I mean even if they do send a replacement out, how do you know for sure they didn't just repair it but make you believe it's a new one? :) Surprised if it does take a week though! Hope all goes well etc!

Is the glass meant to be completely connected/touching the edge all the way around the phone then? Absolutely no gaps where you can stick a pin/sharp needle in between?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
How to know if they did swap it?

I think if the IMEI differs from the one you sent in, then they have swapped it.

Kind regards, Stefan.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutal_noise:
Mine is ok on the front, but on the back side i have a gap in the top left corner. It looks smaller than yours, but that's the reason I didn't put my Z in water. Saddly I can't take a picture of it right now, but tomorrow I'll make one.

P.S. Sorry for bad quality pics.Right now I cant make better ones.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
Wow, the back of mine looks EXACTLY like your 2 pics too, never noticed. I can only see it in certain angles on my phone, maybe all of the phones are meant to be like this & we are looking into it too carefully now? Or are they meant to be extremely close to the edge, literally NO gaps/lines at all? If anyone could share other pics of theirs looking 'perfect' that would help! :good:

Still waiting for a reply from Sony too, although I am now thinking maybe I should have contacted Carphone as I purchased from them online & not Sony directly, does it make a difference?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C1emen7s:

Yes this gap isn't normal, but bulgarian carriers don't like swapping devices. I think I'll have to keep using this one. Btw have you tried soaking your Z ? I mean if it is OK after a bath then it's not such a big deal to me.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalray:
got the same issue where there is a gap on the right screen corner.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
I can fit a fingernail at the top of mine too. I know it shouldn't be such a big deal but we are paying for a prodct that should be all the same & 100% quality, not a couple that are fitted incorrectly here & there :rolleyes:

I don't really want to risk sinking in water just to find out if it will get damaged either, what if it does? Though I have run it under a tap to clean twice & seems fine. It's the dust & dirt that gets trapped in between which is horrible too.

Otherwise the phone itself is still beautiful :p

Nobody else looking for try get a replacement then?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rttnpig]:
Sony told me that they arent giving a new one, they fixed mine. Ill be recieving my phone by the end of this week. Ill keep you guys updated!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rttnpig]:
Bad news, phoned to the reparation center and guess what. They told me the did a software wiped and all issues are now solved. I said to the lady, what???

They already sent it to me and noting has been done, been a week without phone and nothing done. So guys, nothing to do here as sony doesnt consider it as an error.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R!n:
Apparently, those little gaps are meant to be there. They are a small, additional protection from shattering the glass by leaving a small gap between the frame and the glass. Some devices may have a bigger gap on one side, this is completely normal since it is just such a small gap and the machines assembling the phones can make mistakes too. In terms of water/dustproofing there should be no worries.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
Where did you get this information from? :confused:

I just had an online chat with a sony staff & they wouldn't confirm with me if there should be a gap or not after asking several times, then at the last hurdle they said there is a slight gap but hard for them to say without seeing. So, I guess it is normal-ish to have? I think some could be overlooking into it too much, I for one!

Shame about you though rttnpig having to go through all that trouble for nothing :rolleyes:

It has been pretty confusing lately on what ROM and Radio stack upgrades to apply on an O2 XDA unit, especially with the emergence of so many ROM and Radio Stack versions all claiming to have solve the problems of its predecessors. So to your what really is the most suitable, most reliable and most stable ROM and Radio Stack version to use on an O2 XDA unit? and why?

Your opinions are going to be pretty helpful for many O2 XDA users who have been dying to get an upgrade...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ohenry774:
I recently intalled and tested ROM 4.00.11 ENG and ROM 4.00.16 T-Mobile as a conclusion -- I noticed that although WM 2003 is impressive and has numerous new features to boast than its predecessor (PPC 2002), it still has to work on several bug issues, specially regarding the issue on stability. Although unsatisfied, I do not regret installing WM 2003 beta on my unit because it gave me a perpective on what to expect of this promising new OS the moment final version upgrade becomes available. Overall, I suggest that it's better for us users to stick to our old ROMs until we get the final release of WM 2003 from our respective manufacturers.

So far, the most stable ROM available that I've tried is ROM 3.20.06 ENG and if you want to know why, then I suggest you try it!

Flashing ROMs is dangerous, it might result to an unusable XDA.

Im Just Scared if i bricked my phone...

Am searching to unbrick my phone if i rooted it... and i found this...

1) Remove battery, sim card, and sdcard.

2) Hold down volume up + down and re-insert the battery (still holding the volume keys)

3) While still holding the volume keys, I plugged in the phone to the pc,and it went into download mode.

4) Open up odin and use the old original, rooted, KD1

but my version is KJ6 so its not compatible for unbricking this phone???

Sorry for some mistakes, im just a beginner for this android phone. and also this site.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Super one click root is another option.

I guess it depends on what you're planning on doing. If it is just rooting, that's an easy way. It takes a few minutes.

If you're planning on changing roms, flash one/appropriate kernel with one of the one click packages in lumin's signature. It will give you root & cwm & voodoo lagfix.

Do not use rom manager from play store. It is not supported on this phone. It could brick ya.

Good luck and happy flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PuNeTZzZ:
its that for rooting? i read it carefully and it is only for flashing my android phone...

and they said that, you need to root in order to flash your phone right?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
I learn the most in the hours after I brick my phone. If you are not willing to take the time to learn, and are scared to learn in a trial by fire, you really have no business trying to root your phone, especially if you are not going to follow directions, or take the time to learn what it is you are doing. You are going to brick your phone, and you are going to come here and start a hundred threads about it.....I suggest just paying someone to do it for you, or taking the time to read the instructions. Someone who knows nothing about rooting can follow that guide and learn how, that was what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PuNeTZzZ:
ahm,, that the reason why i want to root my phone, to flash my custom rom and to fix lag! thats all...

if they or you can give me lag fixer, i will stop flashing custom rom... :)
