which files do we need to downloade?

Sorry I asking :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tmantanner4:
Bootloop on 4.2.2
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alexdk:
it does not work in Omega v45

:(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SirNights:
Continuous boot under omega v45 (clean install - full wipe). Problems with 4.2.2?

Thanks anyway! :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] R2D2_NZ:
Interesting. Working for me on Omega v45. Then again, I dirty flashed over my Wanam ROM so that might have some bearing on the difference.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SirNights:
Could be... I tried twice, first over my previously v45 with some stuff changed with exposes/nottach, second with a completely clean install to make sure it wasn't something I add on the phone...

Something I don't know if matters is that I usually don't choose everything in installation, I leave some stuff "unticked" like chat on, allshare, Hubs....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] R2D2_NZ:
Same. Always leave around 10 assorted apps and widgets out.

So I have owned my Sony Xperia Z for quite some time now and thought that I would share the 10 reasons why this phone is a great purchase.

I hope that you will enjoy the video.

[Xperia Z General] Dom3000:
you got some water under that micro sd flap
[Xperia Z General] kalo88:
It's outside the seal so it's fine :)
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
I would have bought the Xperia Z if the screen was better. It has some lag on the stock ROM but custom Roms fix that so that isn't an issue. But the screen I cannot deal with.
[Xperia Z General] silversun92:
This^^

Yeah, if it's not for the screen. I would have gone for the Xperia Z a long time ago! That washed out screen was such a huge disappoinment:crying:
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
We'll I've got used to the screen now and guess what???

I started up the GS3 yesterday to see how bad the XZ screen really is.

Talk about a painful experience. Text was blurry and literally hurt my eyes compared to Xperia and colours are atrocious.

And a new patch from Sony is going to include white balance adjustment in display settings.

Also 4Mb photos ;)

Personally Xperia Z is a better phone than GS3, HTC OneX, Nexus 4 and HTC One. All phones I have owned bar the One... I used one for two days and that was enough.

My Xperia Z just works...
[Xperia Z General] silversun92:
GS3's screen is a horrible display and I agree that Xperia Z is much better, but still fall far behind other flagships and even its predecessors like Xperia S, Ion in term of contrast. Even Xperia ZL has better screen than Z...:silly:.

That's not to mention about the viewing angle, which is seriously much worse than HTC old models that use TFT Super LCD:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
Viewing angles are fine, I love the screen. But... Screens and viewing angles etc- never been a problem or complaint until the reviews started moaning lol.

#SaveHTC
[Xperia Z General] Aresmar:
Most people have gadgets which has bad viewing angles. Like TFT monitors at work and home (most people dont have IPS monitors because of cost and response time on gaming), many tablets, and even LCD TV's.

And now a mobile phone with excellent color reproduction and resolution is getting bad reception because of viewing angles?

This is what I call hypocrasy.

Opinions are opinions but some people really have no justice.

Xperia Z is the best mobile phone I have used for a long time. It is an overall perfect phone. It doesnt deserve these critics at all.

Technological hype and competition has come to such a level that people are like slaves of media and corporations now.

Sorry for my small rant :)
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
The screen is not washed out by any means.

It's just a bull...t rumour.
[Xperia Z General] silversun92:
What do you mean "rumour" ??

Anyone can go to a phone store and compares Xperia Z screen directly with any other phones !! Why can't you guys accept the reality already :confused:
[Xperia Z General] Aresmar:
Lol I have the phone for a few weeks now. Everyone that I showed the phone including users of iphone, samsung and htc phones absolutely loved the screen colors and quality of it. They all say gorgeous colors, stunning quality, I want one! etc.

What are you talking about now?

Stop spreading false rumors.

I'm confused about your post?

Screen. Sharp.

Slightly washed out colours???

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess mate.

I'm getting 4.5hrs screen on time with 13-14 hrs use. Great battery life.

Speaker is loud and connected to my Yamaha/ Energy home system sounds amazing. Samsung could only wish.
[Xperia Z General] kalo88:
I don't know where people are getting 'Its washed out' from... aside from reviews

If you actually pick up and use an Xperia Z... it's very bright and colourful. If you go into the gallery or watch videos and BE2 kicks in... it's INSANELY beautiful.

Here are some pictures I took VERY quickly... Ignore the badly put on screen protector, I wacked it on quickly to prevent the ASF being scratched until my proper one arrives.

On approx 30% brightness

This picture was taken out of a car doing approx 50mph, I don't think the camera I used to take a picture of the phone focused 100% as it looks much better.
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
Rumour means internet bullcrap in this context.

I have the device, don't have to visit shops lol, so I see you just repeat what you've read.

And compared it to all top end phones. Nothing is washed out.

It's just a UI which may make such an impression as well as Sony's contrast control mechanism

which prevents excessive batt usage which works on Sony's grey UI.

But the real performance is on par with SGSIV, HTC One etc.

There are videos showing it.

So please, stop the crap if you don't even know what you're talking about.

[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
It's like you guys only check for contrast ratio when you look at displays. Ridiculous! The S has a horrible yellowy screen which is also present in the iPhone 5 and others.

The Z is the first flagship phone in a long time not to suffer from this tint issue.

I for one now see why Sony opted for the contrast ratio and color calibration, it produces a clear display free of that horrible tint.

Long may this continue, if you want a high contrast screen with yellowy look then you've got a lot of options out there.
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Viewing angles my friend, viewing angles.
[Xperia Z General] kalo88:
Call me crazy but I tend to pick my phone up and look directly at it... I must be crazy doing that, i'll try holding it at a 45 degree angle next time!
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Well I guess all the reviewers, some users and opinion about the screen not being the best is false and everyone complaining about the viewing angles have issues...,
[Xperia Z General] kalo88:
can only speak as I find and mine seems fine :)
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
If viewing angles mean that much to you then I suggest you see a doctor and one with particular expertise in mental health.
[Xperia Z General] goodpenguin:
Maybe most people like to watch TVs and on their laptops at the side because they can't afford one and needs to share with other people.:laugh:
[Xperia Z General] Lemagex:
More reasons to buy this phone, and well my entire experience overall....

Coming from a HTC One XL after being an entirely exclusive HTC owner, this phone is built much sturdier, my HTC Desire's port had broken, which led me to the one XL which also broke the same way. (Resoldered new ports and they're fine but any excuse to try a new phone) The screen is really sharp, if you really want to test it i suggest a bluray DVD rip. The sound from the speaker was a bit of a let down but the output audio (from AUX) is amazing, crisp and bassy or you can adjust it how you'd like. The battery life isn't the *BEST* but it's still impressive (This all on stock rom/kernel) The camera is amazing (Dont need to say more than that about it) The phone's speed and multi tasking capabilities are unmatched as far as my experience goes.

That concludes my views ;)
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Awwwwwww the next time i hear about bloody viewing angles. Seriously if anyone looks at there phone side on. Your in serious need of psychiatric help.
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
Seems like viewing angles became a big deal when Xperia Z was launched. Guess the paid off reviewers had to find something negative, so made one up.

I have never had any viewing angle issues. I just love the fact I can actually see what's on the screen in sunlight;)

Spent 3/4 of my time cupping the s3 to see anything. Lol. Now that's a screen con.
[Xperia Z General] ryude:
Yeah, I held my ZL next to an iphone 5 and HTC One in the sunlight. You couldn't read a damn thing off their screens, but my ZL was clear and easy to read. Everyone else noticed it too and they hate Sony phones lol
[Xperia Z General] FCORivers:
Guys, you may think they invented viewing angle to hurt your phones rep, but it is a far old topic to your hurt feelings. I concur that phones are meant to be looked straight on by the owner, but for many time, this has been subject of evaluation when reviewing a new device. Its part of the evolution of devices. Still super lcd2 is the best, lol.
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
Yeah. I'll admit My OneX screen had better viewing angles than Xperia z, only slightly mind you, but the overall experience is so much better on the Sony.

And it seems viewing angles only affect the people that DON'T own it.

Now. Would you take slightly washed out colours on a 75% angle with awesome sunlight resolution over this???

[Xperia Z General] samxool:
the viewing angles aren't the problem.

the 3hr on screen battery life is!
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
I agree with a caveat. Why are manufacturers so hung up on a viewing angle when they should be spending their R&D time and finance on some thing relevant to the product like battery life? Good viewing angle or poor viewing angle are inconsequential when the battery runs out in less than 12 hours or so!
[Xperia Z General] RoChinu:
Again, good viewing angles are only useful when watching media content together or playing games like Temple Run. Yet, when playing Temple Run, it doesn't come to a point of annoyance that I can't see where I'm running! Everything is still visible and playable. My phone does what it is supposed to do until now.
[Xperia Z General] phantom4u:
i've moved to Xperia Z from GS3 and although the colors are not as bright as GS3 but that works for me considering all the other advantages. Infact now it seems to me that the colors on GS3 were too much bright so i like them better this way
[Xperia Z General] arvin2212:
I love this phone especially for it being waterproof (Whenever it gets dirty, a quick wash is all it takes to make it look brand new) and it's shape and size. I was using a Note 2 and it takes 2 hands to operate. With the XZ, i could do most of my task with only 1 hand.

The only issue with this phone is the battery life. That is my only concern. I have to use apps like DS battery pro to get the most out of my battery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5757:
Hello guys,

So i flashed CM 10.1 on my Sony Xperia Z but i have a problem. All of a sudden the phone crashed and when i rebooted it, i had no cell reception anymore. What i've done to make it work again:

- Flash back to stock: no probel with cell reception, evertything works but back in cyanogenmod it fails again

- Format /cache, /data and /system with CWM

- Updated to the latest version of CM

- I called *#*#4636#*#* and tried to turn on the radio in 'phone information' (=> button always says "turn on radio")

- restore permissions in CWM

So what i've found on XDA:

Apparently i don't have an imei number when under CM, but I do have a valid number when using the stock rom. I checked some threads

on XDA and they all say I have to restore the /efs folder (or the nv_data.bin file in it). I checked the root of my phone, but there isn't any /efs folder... So no luck there.

What now? Or is it just the rom that aint finished? What would be strange because it did work.

Thank you for your help

On Monday 18.05, I have upgraded to qtek v. 1.66. Since then, these last 2 days, around 8 pm, the BT light start flashing and the qtek does not work any more. Making a soft reset just stop the green light. The only solution I found is a hard reset. Installed programs: SPB 2.0, wimram, ezwap, vito button mapper. Perhaps is one of these program not compatible. I will now wait until tonight 8 pm, withour reinstalling any programs and see if i need to downgrade to older version.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Dtipex
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
i have that issues once in awhile

is use spd but not version 2

my qtek 2020 came with 1.66

this mean i use backup and restore often

suppose i could try to leave it default

and see if it's a program doing the stuff
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] peppepep:
are u using a SD512 card? if yes try to remove it and see if the forced hard.reset is still needed.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
i use a 128MB and a few times removing it helped but in general it dont help

nor does removing the batt or sim

or trying to charge it which it cant when it's frozen

suppose it could be a hardware issue but odd that a hardreset always solve it then
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dmjames:
I am getting same problem, but with me , it can happen without warning, i cannot switch on, no response to any soft reset attempt, only solution is to do a forced hard reset. Happened now 5 times in 1 month, (new i-mate v.1.66) programs installed, sprite backup v3. PI v5, spb plus v2, hudsonmobile phone dashboard, spb gprs monitor, resco file explorer, fitaly, phatpad, phat notes and scary bear check notifiaction (usually no more than 11 listed). It is a nuisance, but i no have confidence in hard reset and restore with sprite backup working well, i now keep regular backups. I am very interested to know if there any any potential conflics etc. I have seen in some of the threads oin this forum that soft reset 5 times at the start of hard reset, when the red tect appears bottom right, can work, I will try next time.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] goztreh:
For me it's under multie last version.

Sometimes it's freeze 10s.

Before I do hard reset but now I wait and its works.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
wonder if it could have anything to do with the strange max process limit bug

or if people who dont install any software themselfs also get it after X time
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rogge:
Exactly the same problem:

Sometime the blue light goes on, don't know if that is the same problem.

But hangs with a black screen, no backlight, no button response and no light after a bat change or softreset.....

Operator version: 3.66.3.171

ROM version: 1.66.00WWE

ROM date: 02/20/04

Radio version: 1.10.00

Protocol version: 1337.18

ExtROM version 1.66.171

SD256 Toshiba-card

Software:

TomTom 3, Spb plus 2.0, Calendar+

I thought the problem was the the option in the today screen; "Display Today screen if device is not used for xxx hours. I set the option off, but i not really tested it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dmjames:
After much research reading different posts and threads, it seems many of us using ROM version 1.66.00we are getting the same problem. It seems it is something to do with the radio. Owners of earlier versions are not posting these concerns. apparently v1.66 can not be downgraded to the more stable 1.52. According to some posts, a new version 1.72 will be released shortly, which hopefully will solve problem. Check the posts on this site regarding the 1.72 beta release. I am getting fed up with these issues, imate costs a small fortune and its reliablity is a dissappointment to what is otherwise a great device.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
what radio does 1.5 and 1.7 use because my 1.66 have 1.10.00
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dmjames:
it seems that i-mate devices which came originally with ROM 1.52 had the radio 1.06 and for those who have subsequently upgrade to 1.52 from an earlier ROM 1.03 they get the 1.10 radio stack.

Hello,

I have weird touchscreen problems on my xperia pro.

Sometimes it just stops working partially or entirely. Mostly, if the screen is touched, touches are registered as well in other places or multiple times.

I already did a firmware update using flashtool to flash the most recent european version (MK16i_4.1.B.0.587_Central_Europe) but there is no difference.

Any advice?

Hello! I am seriously considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

I'm coming from an Lg Optimus 4x Hd.

The question is:

This device has some kind of bug?

The camera is good?

The battery lasts about how long?

How is the performance of this device for gaming?

This unit heats up a lot?

The completion of this unit is painted or is it metal?

The function of the S-Pen is useful?

What do you think about this device?

Be honest, what you like and what you hate most on your Samsung Galaxy Note 2?

[EDIT]

Today got the Samsung Galaxy Note 2! I am very happy.

I hope that from now on everything runs as smoothly as possible with Samsung.

LG disappointed me a lot.

I had 3 devices (LG P500h), (LG P990) and (P880 LG).

All devices with critical defects, ranging in quality from the camera, touch screen and gaming performance.

I thank you all for the information provided, and support.

No big that I'm aware of. Except you cannot move apps to the sd card easily. Directory bind resolves this.

I play lots of games vice city, nfs, and they are all flawless.

It does not get hot at all.

The phone is plastic but I always use a case.

I don't really use the s pen but my kids love it.

I'm really glad I got this phone it is immense. The best phone I've ever owned. I couldn't go back to a smaller screen. The battery is a dream and it's so quick to use.

Buy it and let us know your thoughts
