[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisftlse:
Could be caused by a MKV file stored in the external S.D. Card ?

As default Sony player didn't read it, it perhaps tries to create thumb...

Do you know a workaround to avoid this (if it is the cause) ?

BTW thanks for the hint
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobe1969:
Is media server just how audio playback shows? I was just listening to audio all day, like about 7 hours. And I checked battery usage, and mediaserver was showing 70% usage. But the actual audio apps I was using didn't show at all. I thought that might have meant that media server was also how locally played media shows at it is the low level library for the actual playing.

So I send a lot of emails on Craig's List using my Gmail account. For some reason every email address I send an email to get captured by Gmail, and somehow ends up in my contacts list, and gets downloaded on my phone every time I sync after installing a new ROM.

Any Gmail experts know how to prevent this from happening?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gmac1990:
I'm def no expert on that but seems like its more likely a setting in your gmail than your phone. Log in with your computer and look through the settings on there.

Did you try disabling gmail contacts sync?

hi, I am trying to install Gtalk on my xts, tried many times, did search xta but still stuck, it seems Gtalk will fc doesn't matter what I do. can someone post the files required? also does it matter which version of Gtalk to use? like gtalk from ics installed on jb
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
it should be installed by default already.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
It is under talk not gtalk... On android
[Sony Tablet S] dkitty:
My stupid tablet is a Chinese spec, so no Google services came with it. And yes, I copied talk.Apk , talk.odex, talkprovide.Apk in system/app folder, changed permission to both, restarted tablet, the talk icon will not show up,
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Oh that is why. Get away from the Chinese tab. Wait for flasher to be fixed then do that.
[Sony Tablet S] dkitty:
well, it never occurred to me an android device would come without Google Apps, and I needed a tab at that point. I was told I need correct libs, anyone knows where to find it?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
You should see a speech bubble with the word 'talk' in blue.
[Sony Tablet S] dkitty:
Never mind, got it, turns out I was using the wrong talk.apk and missing a couple of files for system/lib, pulled those from a Samsung Tom, everything works fine

Friends who know when it comes to update OTA 4.1 for the Middle East?

Timing is declared or not?

Do's and Dont's?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Canalope86:
Unfortunately, no one knows the timing of the update rollout. Usually, northern regions get the update first,while MEA (Middle East & Africa) being the last. If you're too impatient to wait, you can flash the JB tft with flashtool.

First some background. I am S-off and currently running cleanrom6 r2. I tried to flash the unoffical cm10.1 but got some errors (can't remember all of it but i think it had something to do with an error code 7?) so I restored my backup from twrp and was able to reboot with no problem. I then decided to try running viperxl 3.27. It says that it installs properly but when I go to reboot it just sits at the htc boot screen with the tamper warning. I have to reboot into recovery and then I can restore to the backup and then it boots fine. I am doing the whole clear cache and system thing before i am flashing the roms. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
What Hboot and what recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
hboot is 1.14.0002 and my recovery is TWRP 2.3.1.0
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
RUU up to 2.14 (3.18 or 3.17, depending on your carrier) Then downgrade the touchscreen firmware (sticky in original android development). I've seen others not able to boot newer AOSP and Sense roms based on 3.17/3.18 unless they are on 2.14 hboot. Why? I'm not sure. But I'm positive it will work after.

When you RUU, since you're S-OFF, no need to change CID or relock the bootloader, in case you didn't know.

You can update TWRP or flash the same one, just don't flash any version above 2.3.3.1 I'm not sure 2.3.1.0 will work (the touchscreen that is) until you downgrade the touchscreen firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
I will try this once I get some freetime today. I have never really messed with RUU's. Do you flash them the same way as you would a ROM? Thank you for your help on this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Download the exe and run it on your PC with your phone plugged in. To say it's simple would be an understatement.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
After running the ruu and downgrading the touch screen firmware and then loading the twrp I tried to load Cleanrom and once again got stuck on the htc quietly brilliant screen with red text.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Weird, what version of TWRP? did you wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset prior to flashing?

If so you can try to fastboot flash boot boot.img from cleanrom though you should not have to if you are S-OFF.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
I'm using 2.3.1.0 and im doing "System", "Factory Reset", Dalvik Cache" and "Cache" in that order.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Hmm, did you check MD5 of twrp before flashing?

Did you check MD5 of Cleanrom before flashing?

If so, I would try flashing TWRP 2.3.3.x and then do fastboot erase cache

then wipe everything in twrp then reflash rom
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
Still nothing and i installed 2.3.3.1. Why should I not install 2.5?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
TWRP 2.4+ has issues wiping and leads to the kind of issue you're having now. I'm at a loss.. I'm really not sure why you can't boot. If you're doing everything as directed you shouldn't be having any issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
I went ahead and wiped the sd card and went step by step from the RUU and I was finally able to get it to load roms again. Thank you very much.

Hello all! :)

Here are the latest Sony widgets and the latest TrackID (with updated UI)!:good:

I found the updated Weather and Top Contacts widget in the Xperia Z forums with the new World Clock widget.

And the latest TrackID is from the Xperia SP system dump.

Weather widget 2.0.A.0.30

Top Contacts 1.0.A.0.3

World Clock 1.0.A.0.5

TrackID 3.70.11

CWM package (MediaFire)

Install as normal apps or you can move them to system/app with the right (rw- r-- r--) permissions!!

All of them works flawlessly on stock (based) ICS with the latest Xperia Home (version 5.1.S.0.0 or 5.1.S.0.7)!

I think we can start a lawsuit against samsung for false advertising. Just joking but when you say I'm getting 16gb, that means 16gb. I dont give a rats **** what youre thinking about installing etc etc just dont use my space and say I have a 16gb device. Sorry for the quick rant but really who's going to go with the "32gb" version? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
While I would gladly pay the additional $50 to upgrade, I don't want to pay that plus a $35 restocking fee too. Then it wouldn't be worth it especially if there is a fix to allow the swapping of internal/external memory.

I'm holding out for the 32gb device anyhow. Regardless of carrier and Samsung bloat, there is still a slot for expandable memory. I understand its frustrating with the percentage of space taken up. Computer companies do the something, just not to that scale.

I'm leaning towards doing this and come back only and when the bootloader is unlockable for sure on the 32gb version. I updated with the ota yesterday and who knows what that mucked up. I know its been marked as a safe ota sorta but this locked bootloader situation isnt making me want to keep this 16gb thing. But one thing I know is I do like this device, performance not bad at all, battery life better than I expected. I'll come back for a 32gb unlockable at&t device and if not I guess I'll go international. Cant wait for custom roms :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:

Some folks have been able to get a refund on their $35 restocking fee after calling in to a CS retentions rep. Be nice as usual. I've been thinking of telling them that I won't renew my contract if you charge me a restocking fee. It might or might not work but if I do exchange, I plan to talk to a retention rep & ask for a refund.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nyydynasty:
i wont be switching. 9GB is still plenty large for my taste. If I need more space, an SDCard will suffice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raitchison:
Nope, I've already got a 32GB microSD card in there and if/when I fill that up I'll be able to pick up a 64GB for less than the price difference between a 16GB and a 32GB,

Why on earth would you return the phone, pay the difference and the restocking fee (not to mention have to redo all the settings you've been tinkering with) for that extra space as opposed to dropping 20 bucks or so at Amazon for a 32gb micro sd?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SysAdmNj:
I kinda, sorta accidentally installed the ota yesterday. Theres a very little to no chance it may interfere with future bootloader unlocking. Most likely wont but theres always a maybe. Thats really my only reason right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sal1311:
Best part of the gs4 is expandable memory. 32 sd card for 20 bucks is money well spent. No reason to pay an additional 50 bucks for the phone unless you are going to use all that space which most of us won't.

You can only install apps to the memory on the phone. Music and pics can go everywhere. If you like a lot of apps or intensive games, you may need a 32.

Yeah, the 10% I am fine with and it's the same across every kind of storage device you'll ever purchase at this time, but 50% is a big nono. I just got my 64gb sd from amazon and purchased foldermount, so I can't complain anymore, but it's still ridiculous
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SysAdmNj:
So youre keeping your "16gb" device? What extras do you get with the pro version of foldermount?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mcmb03:
Yep, and you get unlimited folder mounts and while browsing folders it displays the sizes of the folders. Maybe more, but those were the important ones for me. $2 on an app for that to last the duration of my phone is more than reasonable if you ask me

Swapping is easy just edit voldfstab file in system etc. Have to be rooted to do it though. Just change internal

Sd card 0 to 1 and external sd 1 to 0. Reboot done! Your external 32gb or whatever will be your internal sd. It should look like the one that I attached
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Interesting..... I remember reading about this on the SIII, how to get it to swap internal for external, but it seemed a whole lot more complex than that, involving a whole lot more steps and the recommendation was to do this when you're wiping the device before flashing a new ROM - is this really all that's involved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ker~Man:
Interestingly, my voldf.stab contents (opening via text editor) look very, very different than yours. The provided instructions aren't possible to perform, as the coniciding "locations" needed to be edited, exchanging the "0" for the "1" and the "1" for the "0" do not exist. Plus, the contents of my file are far more detailed and extensive than yours... :confused:

I ordered my 64GB from samsung yesterday.... nuff said. ive seen this on every phone i have ever had, returning for a 32GB sounds like something an apple user would do. just saying.

P.S. The reason why I wanted an S4 over say an HTC One is the sole purpose i can through in an external in there, and battery, and access my sim without a sim tool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] richardlibeau:
Agreed 64 is the way to go. I have 48 total and almost out of space even after I swapped the sd. Definitely getting 64 with the S4. And that is htc's downfall for me as well no removeable battery or extra storage that's a no go for me.

I read a similar problem someone had while trying to install an apk and they said they had to allow PTP instead of MTP file transfer. Of course, I don't even have one of these phones yet, and I am a huge fan of mass USB instead of MTP / PTP, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case it might help.
