[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jem111111:
Hi i hope someone can help , i have just installed freezenooks rom and done the usual reboots. I decided to put my bootanimation zip file in the /data/local file ( as normal) and rebooted. But the screen stayed black ( apart from the end) when it showed a very quick picture of the last picture of my boot animation.

Any ideas?

Update

I think what is happening is that the boot animation is running but ..its as if the brightness is set to dark , as I happened to see a part of the animation even though the screen is black
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXFI:
Maybe it's worth double-checking your desc.txt file and/or trying a known-good bootanimation.zip to rule out issues with your specific animation file?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jem111111:
yes i tried 3 other bootanimation zips , that also worked when on a previous rom ( like my own) . They all failed as well to work . So i don't think its the bootanimation zip.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freezenook:
I now about this problem. On some tablets animation works uncorrectly.

Hi Freezenook, just an update , when i start the tablet the archos logo shows for a split second. But i have found if i then press the on/ off button very quickly , then the boot animation runs ok.How strange.

Boot animation still not fixed in build 8 :( . DOH!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rihaan_luckystar:
I am using an android tab from chinese manufacturers i.e. its not from a top brand. The tab model is "Full AOSP on Rk29sdk" and the android version running on it is 4.0.1.

I got Ubuntu 12.04 installed through complete linux installer app ,on the tab and connected via androidVNC app. It consumed 3.5 GB space on my tab's internal memory, after the installation. I tested it and didn't like it. So, what I did is I just

deleted the folder containing Ubuntu image and other files

,from the memory. Also, I uninstalled both the apps as well.

Now, still my storage shows the same availability as it did before deleting the folder.

How do I recover that space ??

Hey guys, just wanted to share with you that I picked up the ASUS Taichi 21 for $1,497.00 + tax even though it seems a bit steam, but its a great machine :)

256GB SSD / i7 / 4gb / IPS so not too bad. Comes with a nice slip-in case, vga adapter, stylus, usb modem.

Great computer for anyone whos interested in a new device that doubles as a small laptop + tablet.

The fact that it has TWO screens, makes it very cool :) And I figured for that price, im getting two devices, but thats just in my head lol

Hi there!

I am trying to get these apps working together. I know that they are not supported and probably not being developed anymore, I was just wondering whether you could give me any advice what to do. I have made a screenshot of my problem.

I am running a rooted 4.0.3 ICS on a ConCorde tab 9.7 IPS, using Chainfire 3D with PowerVR plugin (tried all others, and none managed to show the textures for Settlers HD but PowerVR) and I'm getting this annyoing shrunk screen issue. The textures were not shown by default without Chainfire, thats why I gave it a try, and it finally shows up now, it's just the shown screen's size giving me a headache now...

I've set the screen size in the game's cfg (it has a GameSettings.cfg file) to 1024x768, which is my tablets screen size, and tried all settings in Chainfire, but nothing gave me good results.

Do you have any idea what else could I try, or is there any app which acts like chainfire but is still supported and developed and could work on ICS properly?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone !

I'm a new Android user (Lg optimus p700), and I don't understand very good all : root, flashing, bootloader unlocking,…

So I would be very grateful for some explications :)

Here is what I have understood :

Root : is used to unlock some abilities of a rom

Flash : change the rom

bootloader unlock : the same as flashing ?

But is the rom update with the official kdz tool a flashing ? Will the phone stay rooted after this kind of update ? (in my case, v10h -> v20d)

How is it possible to install an official Android Rom ? (I didn't found it for my phone, but I probably searched on the wrong way)

So, I hope you will have the time to help me on these noob-questions ;)

Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install a custom recovery. A custom recovery allows you to flash root. Root allows you to have more permmissions. Custom recoverys also allow you to flash custom roms. Flash usually means to install something through a recovery.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric Weir:
I bought a Nexus 7 specifically to be able to run vim on a tablet. Others, including other Nexus 7 owners, have had good success with the vim touch app for android. My experience with it has been less than satisfactory, though.

This is the pattern: Vim touch displays error messages and then crashes. One error message indicates a problem with the .vimrc. A .vimrc that differs only the the specification of the location of folders and files used by plugins presents no problems with vim on a macbook. One-by-one I take the configurations for plugins out of the .vimrc until vim touch stops crashing. Sometimes one is enough. Sometimes I have to take them all out. Once vim touch stops crashing, I start putting the configurations back in one-by-one in reverse order. As I do vim touch does not start crashing. In the end I end up with exactly the same .vimrc I had when vim touch started crashing.

These are the error messages I was getting intially:

Error detected while processing /storage/emulated/legacy/.vimrc line 63:

E518 unknown option: /storage/emulated/0/.vim/spell/en.utf-8.add.spl line 94:​

Yesterday I updated my plugins and an additional set of error messages associated with one plugin started appearing. There are tons of them. This is the first line of the set:

Error detected while processing /storage/emulated/legacy/.vim/bundle/vim-session/plugin/session.vim: line 72:​

No one, neither the vim touch developer nor others who are using vim touch without the problems I'm experiencing, has been able to tell me why these messages are occurring. I'm hoping someone here will have some sense of what might be going on and how I could avoid the problem.

Thanks,

Eric Weir
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derjuden:
I cracked my screen and replaced the screen, digitizer, and frame. Before replacing it the power button worked fine, in fact turned on just before I got the case off annoyingly. Replaced all the parts, made sure the power button pcb was in place, and charged the battery which causes the screen to light up. But now the power button is not turning on the phone. I'm a bit confused, it feels like its hitting the button. Wonder if anyone has run into this problem when tearing apart there phone and putting it back together? I'm going to check the power button pcb again, and try to power it up with the back off.

Edit: Torn it apart again, checked the power PCB board with my multimeter and I have continuity when the button is pressed. Made sure the power button is touching the logic board to. I starting to think my logic board got fried when I torn it apart. Would the logic board be fried if the screen still lights up when you plug in a charging cable?

Solution: Figured it out. The bent contact pins that touch the logic board 1 had been bent to much in while disassembling and reassembling so it wasn't actually touch the logic board. Couldn't see it till I could the tiny power pcb board out.

Also figured out how I bent it. When you take the black plastic cover off the logic board the clip on the left side is a bit tricky to get off. The only good spot to get under the cover is right next to the power board, and I happen to wedge my pry tool at some point between the logic board and the pin on the power PCB. I also found out I did the same thing on the volume PCB for volume down. So just an FYI to watch out for that when taking this thing apart.

The one piece of plastic sticking on your sony xperia z's screen is NOT a screen guard.Since Sony is not using gorilla glass they have gone cheaper way ,by adhering some sort of plastic covering.Actually the sony logo is on the front plastic sheet,so if you remove it you also permenantly lose the logo too.I was originally thinking "how nice of sony to add an extra screen guard in the pack" infact those screen guards need to be applied before start using the phone.The plastic film prefitted once scratched ,can not removed I think,some people who tried to do that have ended up smudging thier screen.This information is from a retailer who recently had attended workshop conducted by Sony :eek:

[Xperia Z General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
The Xperia Z has Dragontail and Gorilla Glass! The anti-shatter film is just extra protection for bigger falls, something that probably will not solve! If Sony had worried not to remove, would extra film in all boxes, because in my not come!
[Xperia Z General] abd_alazeez2002:
That film is used to hold the screen when it shatters.
[Xperia Z General] SXUsr:
There's threads on this already as some People have taken it off. I wouldn't recommend it but each to their own.
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
My biggest gripe is the misunderstanding and misinformation.

The sheet fitted is Anti Shatter, the one in the box is a screen protector that should be fitted immediately, on top of the Anti Shatter.

It is NOT extra.

Neither of them are scratch resistant, and finger prints are pretty awful on the screen protector.

If you want scratch resistance and lower finger print visibility, you may want to either, get a better screen protector than the one it comes with (in the box) or go the unofficial route of removing the anti shatter film.

Bear in mind, all the anti shatter is going to do is hold the pieces of glass together when you smash it to pieces, it won't prevent it getting smashed.
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
Well written,

There is so much misinformation floating around about the XZ. The anti shatter membrane is just one of many. Your post is accurate.

Regards

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

With due respect to you may I suggest you do some research? I an not going to repeat the words written by alias_neo above. I would just add that for you to write that Sony has used a cheaper glass is incorrect. There is nothing at all cheap about Dragontrail glass. I do NOT work in the glass industry but from what I am informed by those that do both Dragontrail and Corning glass make very strong, thin, and anti scratch glasses. Both share similar properties but both have different strengths and weaknesses.

Point is Sony did not go cheap. If anything Sony went different or even up market. Both Corning and Dragontrail will shatter. The only crystal that won't is (obviously diamond) sapphire glass . Even if sapphire glass was used the cost of the phone would be well beyond what the majority of consumers could afford. A typical wrist watch crystal made from sapphire glass costs around 300.00 to 1,500.00€ depending on the shape and we know how small a wrist watch is.

The obvious challenges facing glass manufacturers being thickness. The consumer apparently wants thin phones that weigh less than a sheet of paper. This is why battery and functionality have gone out of the window. If we, the consumer, just allowed the devices to be slightly thicker and a tad heavier we could see longer lasting battery life and stronger glass.

Regards
[Xperia Z General] besserde:
Sony uses Gorilla Glass and Dragontrail for the Xperia Z. There were rumors that they put Dragontrail on the screen and Gorilla Glass on the back, but Sony officially said that's not like it is. Due to the high demands for mobile phone glass, Sony is supplied with glass from two sources. So either your XZ has Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail. I honestly believe in the rumor, because technically and logistically it makes sense, and this picture is a strong indicator that the rumor might be true.
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
It is odd that the only Major brand of mobile phones that does not state in its specification is Sony with regard the XZ. Other brands who use Corning or whatever state the brand of glass used.

IF Sony are using two brands of glass why not state that in the specification?

Logistically using two brands would actually double the opportunity for production run problems. I can't see Corning nor Dragontrail having supply problems? Its puzzling. :confused:
[Xperia Z General] besserde:
Dragontrail is made in Japan from a Japanese Company. And the display panels also (either JDC or Sharp).

Since the display panel is glued / laminated to the front glass and therefore becomes a single component with the glass, it might be good in some way to have both suppliers for that component close together. This is just a guess. I'm not even sure that Sharp and JDC are actually producing in Japan.
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Also, it is cheaper.

Gorilla glass is used for back.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
Dragontrail screen is possible but definitely not gorilla glass as all product use this screen will publish in gorilla glass official website.
[Xperia Z General] Ryland Johnson:
That is also something else that puzzles the hell out of me? Why would Sony, who manufacture their own TV screens, contract out this screen to another manufacturer? Its all so odd?

I doubt, though I do not know, that neither the Sharp nor JDC branded screens are actually made IN Japan? Is anything made there now?:eek:

You are correct, some countries get a dock instead, but if we get into semantics, my point is that the fitted film is not a screen protector therefore not making the "in the box" screen protector "spare", it is not secondary, additional, extra, or spare in the sense that it is equivalent to the anti shatter film, it is complimentary to, part of the whole, one might say.

I'm new to Sony Xperia phones and didn't realize that they use a plastic cover over the glass. I know its to keep it shatterproof, but it kind of defeats the purpose of having a scratch proof glass front and back. Seems the plastic covering will get scratched up over time. Mine it just a few days old and I already have a small scratch on the back :(

Do any of you keep your phones in case? I really liked the XZ for its beauty and would rather use it without a case, but worry about the scratches now.

Anyone recommend a really good screen protectors, perhaps one that is really clear like glass and has oleophobic properties?
