My Prob is that GPRS Connection on other Devices (Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia) work more stable (every GPRS Connection is successful and faster as on the Qtek 1010).

The Radio Upgrade from t-mobile and O2 should increase the Speed up to 33%.

I can't find anywhere on the net my Radio Version T313 nor a Documentation about it.

I'll also will test MMS and other new features.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpetrach:
I'm sorry this is a topic discuss somewhere else. I'm looking for an app that will work with a stock RAZR HD without root to stop processes or keep them from starting. Not just a task killer.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantherHeel93:
First off, why are you posting this here if you know it's the wrong place? Ask in Q&A.

The two apps I would check out, which won't do exactly what you want, are Rom Toolbox and Onavo Count. Using Rom Toolbox you can choose what starts on boot. Using Onavo Count you can restrict apps to only work on wi-fi.

Again, if you want the right answer, ask in Q&A.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpetrach:
again sorry, what app are you using to freeze? and is this something that must be done every time you reboot your phone?

[Sony Xperia ZL] Supersaiyan.IV:
I'd like to reach out to the ZL community regarding a guide I've written.

It covers common topics:

Get Adobe Flash Player working.

Rooting the phone.

Full-screen navigation - no onscreen buttons.

Calibrate the Xperia Z/ZL display for bettter colours.

64GB microSDXC and exFAT.

Xperia Z/ZL Accessories.

ClockworkMod recovery and Improving Xperia Z/ZL Audio Quality.

Because the Z/ZL only differ in physical build and supported LTE frequency bands, and are otherwise the same phone I hope this guide comes useful.

Link is in signature ↓ thank you!

EDIT: Link to guide for mobile users.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
cant get flash working until we can install stock browser.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Supersaiyan.IV:
Have you even tried? Because flash is working, and it's working well. But not in Chrome of course,

I've refrained from posting the entire guide here because it's too much to maintain, and I have a limited amount of free time. Will hopefully post a bigger guide in the future, then it might come to the Xperia ZL forums aswell.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Supersaiyan.IV:
Apart from being built differently, they support different LTE frequency bands - they are simply made for different countries.

Otherwise they are the same, the Xperia Z even has the same .434 firmware as Xperia ZL.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
The white balance screen calibration is a good step to improve screen image quality. I read somewhere to get 6500k color you need to put it like so. I disabled Mobile Bravia Engine 2 because I prefer neutral color

EDIT: Other thing to add is to remove Chrome and add the standard Browser, much faster and more responsive than Chrome or any other browser I tested. Also use any CPU control app like setCPU to reduce CPU frequency to improve battery life and better thermals
[Sony Xperia ZL] cheapshot789:
I have posted a guide in the app section with original thread link for installing stock browser it works.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
As said above flash player works well on the ZL. Try Maxthon, Firefox, Boat or Dolphin (root req). They all have flash player working. I've been using maxthon of late n liking it thus far.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
boat is best of them
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Boat is laggy, NOTHING is better than the Stock Android Browser.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
best of browsers which allow FLASH =.= not best at all
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
You kidding right, the best browser IS the one that allowed flash. Browser is the BEST browser period, its the fastest and most responsive browser I ever tested
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
I think he meant to say best browser (in his opinion) among the playstore ones with flash support (which I posted earlier). But, after trying the stock I'd have to agree with you n others that it's the fastest, most responsive android browser with flash n full screen support. I was dearly missing it on my ZL (having used it on note2 before). Full screen mod (lmt) with stock browser is simply awesome web experience on ZL screen :victory:!

I'm not fond of rooting or jailbreaking. What is the best browser to use other than chrome.

[Sony Xperia ZL] stygian16:
Sorry if I missed it, where can the stock browser be obtained? It's obviously not in the PlayStore. I've been using Dolphin for Flash which hasn't given me any problems but would prefer Stock,

EDIT: Found the thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213079&page=2
[Sony Xperia ZL] Supersaiyan.IV:
The reason stock browser is not included in the guide is because you can't login onto Google to sync your passwords.

Since it's not a fully working solution it's not included, as suggesting it creates more problems than it solves.

For the persons who've got the ZL already:

- First feelings of the screen, colours, viewingangles, contrast? All Sharppanels?

- What are the first feeling of the device, the shape, the size, the weight?

- What about the hardwarebuttons on the right side? Nice, cheapass?

- Do you love the notification led? Can you manually change it? Settings?

- Does the notification led works fine with Stamina Mode on? (not on the Z!)

- More people with a faulty vibrate-motor, that you can hear and not feel?

- What about the little backcover, cheapass, or okay for just use it sometimes?

- Other things you wanna say about the Xperia ZL? Software, hardware?
[Sony Xperia ZL] glovesave:
I had my ZL (6502) now for 3 days.

I love it (coming from Nexus 4).

No issue with the angles and washed out colors...I mean I look at it from only regular angles.

To be Fair it is no Super AMOLED but then the colors look more normal that way. It is all taste.

I love the shape, the small form factor with a 5 inch screen is nice.

The curve on back seems cheaper maybe but is easier to hold. I don't need waterproofing and want to be able to access my ports and also the IR is cool (+ it is $100 less). Mostly it is smaller, I like that.

The power button initially seemed weird, but it feels better in say the left hand than a button on top right.

Love the Camera Button !

Notification led is sexy but I have had stamina mode on so not seeing it unless it charges.

I love the software, just enough to seem nice and not enough to drown you. I did disable google + as I'm not a fan of it.

Hope that helps
[Sony Xperia ZL] CLB-NL:
Thanks, nice!
[Sony Xperia ZL] bouvrie:
So, does this mean that any software mods for the Xperia Z will work on the ZL too? For now, I'm interested in the exFAT mod and getting a proper full nandroid backup. Nandroid doesn't have a patch for the ZL, so will selecting the Z instead work as intended then?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Supersaiyan.IV:
The exFAT mod is quite outdated. Feel free to try it nonetheless. It will work on the ZL no doubt.

However, from my own experience this exFAT mod creates more problems than it solves.

Should the result be less than satisfactory, then use the Sony PC software to forcefully repair the phone.

This will wipe the phone blank as if were bought yesterday. But if you have Titanium Backup, and have already copied you music and photos, then this is no matter. Good luck!

You don't need to root the ZL and flash anything to improve the colours on the display. I visited the thread and well it even states there that the WB tool is taken from the ZL, it's part of the stock rom, butt he numbers for calibration are pretty useful and did improve the colours. It now looks just like my TV! :D

Shame on ZTE... Yesterday afternoon I've posted latest email they sent you on two threads about GXI here on XDA. Took it from Polish forum - hope You don't mind. I've also posted link to this thread, so people interested in GXI can find it easier.

[General Topics] krondar:
Damn. It's sad. Really sad. I like my GXI, I really do. It's a good piece of hardware. But I would like some updates! Any updates? Bug fixes? The more Android devices I get, I end up wondering isn't Windows Phone or IOS a better way for an end user. They get updates, you know? On my iPod touch 4th gen I got 4 updates from 16th of February. 4! And when I think of all of my Android Devices?

- Motorola Milestone - 1 update after a year. And it was a crappy Froyo that was rebooting my phone...

- Motorola Flipout - no updates

- Asus Transformer TF101 - two updates - one to 4.0.3

- ZTE Grand X In - no updates

Summary? 3 updates for 4 devices. It's a fire-and-forget for most of manufacturers! You want Jelly Bean? Get a JB phone or tablet! And when Android 5.0 will hit the market - get a 5.0 phone or tablet! Damn, It's pathetic! Really. I'm trying not to get emotional about it, but it's getting really hard.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Do as the above poster said but if that won't work then you have to flash the whole rom using pc odin because the screen(mobile and pc connection with a triangle in between) you are telling about is showed up when the rom is not flashed completely or while the rom is being flashed and the connection between the pc and phone is breaked
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionelia:
I had this on a Galaxy S and the only way I found to flash a rom was:

-Remove battery

-Plug USB JIG

-Put battery back and wait until the phone enter download mode by itself.

-Unplug USB JIG

-Plug data cable to PC and then flash stock rom with Odin.

You consider this as download mode and can flash stock rom with this screen. Still you can use odin, this is common when interrupt/fail odin process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flvinny521:
Posting here since I'm a newb. I recently rooted and flashed a 4.2 ROM to my phone for the first time and I'm having some issues.

First, as many people have reported, I can not receive MMS. I have successfully sent one using ChompSMS, but when I receive one, I get a notification that I have an MMS, and Chomp displays the message size, but it never downloads. I have tried this using WiFi and mobile networks.

Then, a music app (dSub) that used to transmit track information over bluetooth to my car's stereo has stopped doing so. I no longer get the artist, track and album name on my head unit like I used to.

Last, the app automatically reduces volume on music if another sound takes focus (notification, for example). It is supposed to return the volume back to the initial level afterwards, but with this ROM, the phone volume stays very low. Even if I manually change the volume down and back up, or use different apps, or manually kill the music app, the volume is not restored to normal levels until I reboot the phone.

Any ideas on fixing these issues? The ROM has been great and very smooth otherwise.

EDIT - Fixed my MMS issue, I had forgotten to check "auto-retrieve" in the MMS settings of the stock messanger. Still looking for info about the bluetooth and volume issues.

Hello everyone, I'm currently messing around with my MMS app a little bit and I'm trying to change the font of a particular item's text to a thinner version of "Roboto". According to Android the font that ships with JellyBean is called "Roboto". I'd like to change the font from regular to the "thin" or "light" versions as referenced here: http://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html

I've got the correct XML file open and I have android:typeFace="Roboto-Light" in the correct TextView field, but the apktool compiler doesn't like "typeFace" so that must be incorrect. What's the correct syntax to change a font's typeFace in an XML file?
