Hi everyone,

Every morning I have very little time to load webpages to read when I am in the underground. Unfortunately the journey lasts 35 mins with no Internet connection available.

So if I want to read the news I have to save tha webpages to pocket before I get the tube.

It would be great if this process could be automated by tasker.

Any idea how to do that? Let's say I load the BBC webpage and want to save to Pocket all the articles in the page in that moment.

THanks a lot!!!

anybody try this fw ? is it better than "Stock 10.1.A.1.434 Generic NL firmware" ? i will try Generic NL firmwave but i lose automatic download infomation data network (etc: APN...) then i have create APN manual. thanks you
[Xperia Z General] zlays:
Yep thats what I meant by NFC :D when you turn it on theres no notification that is on ;)
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
I think they just removed it for good, don't know why..
[Xperia Z General] haynesteve:
Icon is set to false in build.prop
[Xperia Z General] zlays:
Yes but you need to root your phone to set it to true :( but I really don't understand why they did that to almost all European FW-s just UK and Italy have it set to true by default...thats not cool by Sony at all :D
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
That is really weird.. Probably they will add it in future updates

[Xperia Z General] fards:
your download is showing as Greece unbranded not generic.

Xperia Z_10.1.A.1.434_Greece General.ftf

which is it?
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
Ok I found that this is a global release not only for Europe or Greece so anybody with LTE version of XZ can flash it!
[Xperia Z General] gallous_boy:
i have a locked bootloader and rooted, how do i flash this with flashtool?
[Xperia Z General] harfot:
As stated in post #1 just Flash with Flashtool and reroot.
[Xperia Z General] fards:
anyone can flash the NL it doesn't mean that its a global or europe wide release.

this still appears to be the greek version not true global..
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
It appears to be Greek? Where? If you mean the ftf name that I uploaded, I named it Greek because I thought it was intended for my country only!
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
How do you istall the Android SDK?
[Xperia Z General] Rutifruti:
Click
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
My question was how to install it properly, not where to get it :)

This:

"10.Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager."

I don't get WHERE is it since after installing the SDK I cannot find it nowhere.

This is a mess for me.

And what about this Manager:

And where to get this file:

7.Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
[Xperia Z General] :
You just install all of it in the "C:\" drive

Just have a look in your "C" drive, it should be there.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
But it's not. I want to unlock my phone through the Sony way but I just don't f.... get it.

Like what is it:

7.Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder

Where to get it?
[Xperia Z General] :
Well you should at least extract the zip file into the "C" drive. I can see the fasboot.exe in C:\Users\Main\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
So running this file should be enough?

I just don't get the whole procedure here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
[Xperia Z General] :
If it will make it a little easier you can download the fastboot_Android_USB_file.rar and start from there.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Maybe I'm an idiot but the points 8. to .13. in this tutorial are just a mess to me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2153261

And why this instruction is a bit different:

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

This is just crazy.
[Xperia Z General] :
I can understand. I had to figure out that no. 8 part.

In no.8 it says hold "SHIFT" and right click on the background of the folder. What it should've said is on the left window pane like shown in this picture

And this should show up
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Ok so - I don't need to use Android SDK at all?!

I still don't get it.

And what do you do with fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar?

Just place it somewhere?
[Xperia Z General] :
Not really but handy to have around. The Android SDK is for more serious stuff like customizing, extracting ROMs etc. You can unpack the fastboot_Android_USB_file.rar anywhere you wish
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Ok and I type there:

i 0x0fce getvar version

??

Or what? Because it is also strangely written, like all is bald.

Edit:

I have "waiting for device"...
[Xperia Z General] babylonbwoy:
You should edit your title
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Maybe I miss something here:

"•power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder"
[Xperia Z General] :
You have to type this "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" so you will get this

As you can see I got the 0.5 result so it means the phone is correctly connected

Sorry for the delayed answer as I was having trouble getting the S1Boot Fastboot driver installed. so I had to pick the driver manually before I got it to work.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Ok so I did it and this resulted in "Waiting for device" beeing displayed endlessly.

I might miss something in the drivers install which I also don't get really, as I wrote above..
[Xperia Z General] :
Yes it was annoying at first. My Win7 64bit PC was looking for S1Boot Fastbbot driver when I had the XZ on fastboot mode. I had to stuff around and do more research. In the end I had to choose the driver myself (Sony sa0107)

I ended using the Flashtool to install the drivers first and still my PC was looking for the S1Boot Fastboot driver so I had to pick the driver manually

Picture 1: My PC was looking for the S1Boot Fastboot driver and the driver wasn't detected

Picture 2, 3, 4 and 5: I had to pick the driver
[Xperia Z General] Thraxzzz:
Does this FTF shows LTE or 4G on the signal bar? When i switched on the mobile data....
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
That's a great help.

But now somebody told me that unlocking bootloader has it's consequences, like disabling some options

or inability to update through PCCompanion.

Is that true?
[Xperia Z General] babylonbwoy:
You loose DRM key by unlocking BL and some says Bravia Engine (some says it still works for video but not for pictures).

For the update, yes you can't update via PCC with unlocked bl, but you can relock the bl to do the update. Most of the time the day an update is available you'll find an ftf uploaded here to flash via flashtool.

Sony has it's own flashtool for unlocked bl, so u can go back to stock when you want.

So is this FW from the title Generic or Greek?
[Xperia Z General] C1emen7s:
According to a thread in the troubleshooting section, this particularly FW's customisation version corresponds to Greece.
[Xperia Z General] :
EDIT:

Wrong FW!! My apologies
[Xperia Z General] C1emen7s:
I'm on XP, attempting to flash this, have gone to drivers and installed the Z, flashmode and fastboot drivers except when I go to flash it says I need to install the drivers. Is there a way to manually do this as opposed to running the .exe in drivers?

Here's a dump of the MANIFEST.MF to clear up any confusion:

Doesn't look like global to me.
[Xperia Z General] babylonbwoy:
Nobody says that it doesn't works, but looking to other ftf uploaded here on XDA they all mention from which country it comes from (germany, uk, NL, etc), why you don't want to edit title ? There's no harm saying .434 from Greece.

When I read Global ftf in the title I think that it comes from EMMA, that's not the case here, so If it's greece, says it comes from greece.

Each country has different app/bloatware. If you removed them you should says it in title too.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
It's the last time I'm gonna say it! I DID the ftf and I wrote these details because I thought it was intented for Greece only!

It is bloatware free! The same apps as the GLOBAL version! McAfee, Wisepilot etc. which you can uninstall easily!
[Xperia Z General] nmm81:
My current version is:

C6603 - CB5A1PKLDJ - 1270-6350_R8A - 1269-5309_10.1.A.1.350 - GLOBAL-LTE_10.1.A.1.350

Is there any problem flashing this version on my XZ?
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
Of course not! ;)
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Let me explain how this firmware is global.

Here in my country we don't have an official sony phones store,so all sony phones are imported but we don't know from which country.

This batch of phones called global,not specified to one country.

I bought my phone here in Lebanon and has the same firmware as this one,no bloatware,only some apps that can be uninstalled.

The customization number could be little different by still global.

Hope this is clear.

Am I right in assuming I can flash this with LOCKED bootloader, then root it and still have DRM keys and Bravia?
[Xperia Z General] :
Yes that's right. You ONLY lose DRM keys and BE2 when you unlock the bootloader.

Thanks. Will be flashing in an hour and finally start using my XZ :D

Can I flash C6603 firmware on C6602 device?
[Xperia Z General] _JT:
After I have installed this firmware I root the device and then I reboot. Then I install LBE. When I've done that, the phone keeps crashing and rebooting not long after it's booted. Anyone else found similar problems?

LBE??
[Xperia Z General] grozni:
I've locked my bootloader after changing from .350 to .434. I used flashtools
[Xperia Z General] sakiin:
wipe or not

Maybe a dumb question but was wondering whether installing this will wipe all user data similar to factory reset? just coming from S3 and it had non-wipe roms.

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] :
No. if you use the flashtool and untick the boxes:
[Xperia Z General] sephstyler:
Quick question guys,

I'm on .350, rooted, and have the white balance setting flashed too.

If I flash this .434, will I lose root? ( I assume it will be fine) and will I lose white balance (I assume yes, and I'll have to reflash it on?)

and if it makes any difference, its a .350 from VF AU (Vodafone Australia) which is fairly generic anyways
[Xperia Z General] :
I'm not sure as I haven't rooted my phone. Sorry about that.
[Xperia Z General] sephstyler:
Thanks shadowboy23.

If anyone else has any ideas or info, please let me know! =)
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
you probably have to root and install WhiteBalance mod again as I did! BTW WhiteBalance do not require CWM anymore you can do it simply by moving the files to the corresponding directories and set the right permissions :good:

Did a search but didn't come up with anything recent. Has something changed recently with the play store and renting/buying movies when rooted?

I know in the past, Google has taken the 'privilege' of renting movies away if you were rooted, but then I thought they eventually changed that and were allowing rooted users to rent/buy again.

I rented some movies while stock, recently unlocked boot loader and flashed my own custom kernel and rooted. Stock ROM, just rooted with custom kernel. Suddenly I can't rent movies, and could of sworn I did rent one right after rooting and testing the kernel, but now movies don't even show up in the store, and play movies app just opens the market, where there is now no movies section?

Edit-weird, about 25 minutes after posting this I opened up play store and there's movies back. Odd, but at least there is no issue.

If you hit Settings>Wifi

It just displays this message that says "turning on wifi" exactly like this and it stays like that forever

This is known to happen with the Nabi 2 and happens with my son's one too. The only thing I've found I can do is a factory reset, and I'm not happy about it and later the problem happens again.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] TxChristopher:
I fixed my Wifi the same way, by deleting the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Easiest way is if you have the device rooted just use ES Explorer and find that file and delete it. You will have to elevate ES explorer to root status but that's easy to do if the device is rooted.

Has anyone else noticed that if you enable Google+s Instant Upload feature with the HTC One, it will upload every frame of a Zoe (as well as the movie file) to your designated album. This makes it so messy! I wonder if anyone will come up with a work around for this?

-Mike
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] jonas2295:
AW: Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!

Dropbox does that as well .

It's necessary to save every frame as it should be a 1:1 backup of your taken pictures.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] trickyhenry:
Yeah this is really annoying. Just synced 1000 photo's to my PC. I have now learned to save an event as a mp4 then delete the Zoe photos. Maybe a software update can save us?

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] jonas2295:
AW: Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!

I will get in contact with HTC . Will keep you updated .
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] vinistois:
I agree that this is a shift from what we are used to with our previous phones. However, each zoe contains a couple of great frames that I actually want to keep as single-frame photos. So how is the phone supposed to know which of the frames are worth keeping? If you just keep the Zoe, then the individual frames are somewhat lost.

I am used to sorting through hundreds of photos, adding the 'good' ones to albums, and deleting the rest from instant upload. Going from hundreds to thousands is definitely going to take an adjustment. I am not sure how HTC will approach this issue, or if they will even approach it. Since google makes it quite easy to select a whole album and hit 'delete', I don't think it will be that difficult to deal with from a user perspective. select the photos you want to keep, select the actual 'zoe' file if you want to keep it, add them to an album of your choice. Then select the rest of the event and delete it all.

I was wondering why my battery just wasn't lasting, but it must have been all the constant uploading all day long. I will set it to upload only when charging, that should help.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] davedigerati:
I'm gonna say easy: new menu item next to the current 'save frame' that says keep all frames. Save all these otherwise 'temp' images in a subdirectory with .nomedia and delete once the zoe is deleted to keep from selling, and place it outside the camera directory so theyre not auto-uploaded and further suck my borderline battery any further down.

I can't believe the average consumer is expecting and wanting 30 more "bonus" photos for every movie... I know I frakkin don't.

I have severely curtailed my use of zoe until this is fixed.

:mad:

via my HTC One Dev ed.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nicodemus3d:
I just experienced the same. Phone eating through the battery as it quietly uploaded about 400 zoe frames.

And there lies the problem. I've got in the habit of editing my albums right down and deleting does/frames where needed, but I don't always have time to do this directly after taking the photos.

Google+ doesn't know to only start uploading once I've been through and edited.

So either I accept that I'll have to go through and re-edit my google+ albums, or I turn off auto-upload and lose the lovely backup functionality of the service.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] compact_bijou:
Don't be a member of Google+. Don't allow the phone to upload images.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] bleary:
What a completely useless response!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] compact_bijou:
It works 100%

It's the most effective way of not uploading photos.

How is it useless?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] bleary:
Because people are looking for a solution, such as something HTC will roll out or dev's will sort.

For most (me included) turning off instant upload is not the answer, as the whole point of instant upload is to keep a real-time backup of your images.

It is just the bad design of saving ZOE images that is causing the problems.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nicodemus3d:
Absolutely agree. We shouldn't have to lose functionality. Fingers crossed someone smarter than I can come up with a workaround
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] compact_bijou:
To uploading all of the images? Of course it is.

QED as pointed out in post 2 of this thread.

If you want to save certain images on the go, do so by selecting the image you want to save and uploading that.

Leave sorting out the rest of the images until it's more convenient to you. Seems obvious.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] ImWarped:
Your "answer" is laughable...

I'm not here to troll, and neither was the other guy, but listen to what you are asking for....

I want all of my photos backed up instantly, except for the photos I don't like, because I haven't reviewed them yet.

So, you DONT want all your photos instantly backed up

Soluntion

Turn off auto-upload, and only upload once you've gone through your photos.

It's a solution, you want your phone to figure out what the best picture you took in a series is before it's saved. That's a ridiculous request if you stop and think about it. No one on the planet would hire a professional photographer again if this software existed.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] compact_bijou:
Workflow ... he's never heard of it and wants someone to write an app for that :rolleyes:
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nicodemus3d:
Not true. There could definitely be options. If you click on a zoe there is a bar in the timeline that shows where the picture taken when you pressed the shutter is. There could be an option to only make that 1 photo available for upload.

Or there could be an option to only make the zoe.mp4 available for upload.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not posting here DEMANDING a solution. I just noted it here as a possible issue with using zoes.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nicodemus3d:
Wow, you must end up 'rolling your eyes' at a lot of stuff on XDA then. These are called smartphones for a reason.

Yet people still look at them, use them, and think they could be improved somehow. That's why we install custom roms and customisation apps.

Carrying around a diary, and a notebook and an address book used to be a 'workflow'

Then someone came up with something better.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with noting the inefficiencies in your workflow to try and improve/speed thing along.

You've made your point that you don't think this is an issue. Now please leave this thread alone.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] compact_bijou:
I do. Have been doing so for the last six and a half years, when it was all fields round here.

90% of the posts on xda are from people who wilfully refuse to RTFM or STFW, and don't possess any form of critical analysis.

Too many people expect everything to be done for them by others, instantly.

They can't be bothered to read, search, read, read, read and then search some more, like the rest of xda residents.

Most can't even be bothered to check their spelling, their sentence construction, how to phrase a question or be polite enough even to come back to a thread to say thanks.
