[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trehjulingsleffe:
Hello xda!

I've had Xperia Z and Bluetooth MW1 a couple of months and it only shows "unknown - unknown" in the handsfree display even if title streaming is enabled in PowerAmp.

When i flashed it to CM10.1 it worked fine. But then I flashed to stock, and "unknown - unknown" appears again.

i decided to try ROMAUR, witch is based on a stock firmware and the same problem still exists.

Title streaming works with the original Walkman app. But even if I inactivate it or force a uninstall, it doesnt allow PowerAmp to stream any titles to Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro (MW1).

Does anyone have any ideas why?

Best regards Trehjulingsleffe.

Sorry for my bad english ;)-
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] changkho1908:
yeah, my MW600 also have this problem, i've tried many ways :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoRisk_NoFun:
Yes. I have the same problem.

Is there any way to fix this issue on a rooted devise?

f.e. to change the bt files?

Applicable for MW1

makes sure you have "smart connect" installed in the first place

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5zb255ZXJpY3Nzb24uZXh0cmFzLmxpdmV3YXJlIl0.

once you pair it then

Did you install this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...4uZXh0cmFzLnNtYXJ0d2lyZWxlc3NoZWFkc2V0cHJvIl0.

other way it will not work :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trehjulingsleffe:
Yes. I've installed both apps above. Otherwise it wont work with walkman player either.

My old Xperia Arc can send Spotify and PowerAmp titles to MW1, but not Xperia Z. I guess it has something to do with Walkman. But i don't want to use Walkman when i bought PowerAmp witch is better by far.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcoplo:
1)Well as long as I am aware poweramp does have not build in - avcrp 1.3. So that could be an issue

2)Sony makes a custom sound driver for the MW1. that is way the smart connect is build in.

3) by installing a cynonomod os you installing a standard drivers which have avcrp 1.3 build in standard version (without sony modification :eek:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trehjulingsleffe:
Hmm, you may be right on all three points. But isn't it possible to flash something in CWM or TWRP to override the Sony crappy thing? I'm not so good at how it works, and even worse to self make a zip file which could fix this problem.

Guys I recently bought some resistors to make the jig although the guy at RadioShack gave me 1/8 watt instead of 1/4 any way to still make it work? I have a pack of 500 resistors of different ohms
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
wattage shouldn't matter, for this purpose. it's a low power signal only.

fyi, you can also create the same watt capacity by using a combination of two series of resistors in parallel, but not the same values for the resistors.

each series at 602 ohm, wired in parallel, gives a 301 ohm circuit at twice the rated wattage.

just build the single series using the resistors you have - it should work.

Agree...

Just put together 301k and u should be good. Check it with an ohm meter after u get it together, to verify the resistance is accurate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCTerrorist:
Thanks for your reply any idea of what colors need to be on the resistors? I think its a thin gold one thick black then thinner brown and then a really thin green if I followed the package right that should be a 100k ohm resistor correct?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Here is a pic of the 100k 1/4watt 5% tolerance that i have used. Brown, Black, & then Yellow is the 3rd color band. Gold is 4th band for tolerance %.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 1/8 100k will look different than the 1/4
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
My bad...edited my post above...had my colors mixed up.

100k = Brown, Black, Yellow, Gold (5% tolerance). :thumbup:

Ur color bands should be the same as i listed here.

And the 1k will be brown, black, Red, gold (if ya have 5% tolerance).

4-2ndtwin I CAN NOT get my phone to power off and when I pull the battery and put it back in it boots up I've tried quick boot ROM manager and also an app called power off but none work :( help me please
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Simply sounds like ur power button is stuck in (imo). U could try cleanin around it etc.

Its a common problem with the captivate when it has been used a lot. There r some threads on cleanin it, what to use, even how to take the phone apart and clean it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCTerrorist:
I've had the phone apart and saw nothing to "clean" unless people are cleaning the connectors on the mobo which wouldn't seem very logical as for the white pin behind the actual black button, I've cleaned it I just don't know why the power off apps aren't working. They work fine when rebooting but freeze my phone when I try to turn it off
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
clean around the on off button on the frame, not the mobo, first. make sure it moves freely. next check the mobo's power button for clean operation. dirt can be conductive. debris can prevent the open circuit that is the normal state for power button.

power button works by momentary contact that closes the circuit, creating a change of state that tells the power management chip to power up. if stuck in closed position, phone will boot on battery insertion, and there will be no way to shut down except remove battery. you can also try virtual rebbot apps - it might work.

use electronic contact cleaner.

At the time... the update was available only in certain waves of devices. Mine didn't even show 7.0.1 update until 2 days ago lol! Kinda like when the new version of gmail rolled out...

I'm still on 6.14.4 and it's considered up-to-date for me...

You aren't missing much... Don't worry;) It's kinda sad what happened with talk and maps. Don't really understand why Google is trading functionality for looks...

Now that I went back and looked at it... The date on maps update says the 10th when it became available for me 3 days ago lol! Also, on the description, it says they will be rolling out for 4.0.3+ in the next few weeks.

If you want to save maps to your phone have the location you want on your screen and type "ok maps" and it will save it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ytj87:
This is a terrible revamp. We've lost starred places, easy offline caching, a separate nav app, on screen zoom buttons and scale, and the UI is more cumbersome for mapping/nav functions. The UI is more beautiful and is arguably better for casual info. But what is the point of maps? Beauty or real map functions?

For those that want the upgrade 7.0.2 attached.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zachariah_Apo:
This is probably the wrong thread but does anyone have the previous Google maps apk before the update to 7. I can't stand the new maps. I don't know why Google is insisting on becoming more like crApple. Neat UI but 15 steps to get to navigation, no dedicated way to lookup addresses in your contacts, once in navigation no way to check other route alternatives other than to back out of navigation, can't run navigation and then open maps to search for other places independent of navigation, and the list goes on. Why would you update an app and take away a bunch of great features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Just so everyone knows you can still get a navigation shortcut . use a different launcher any beside Twiz

.... Long press home screen>> Shortcuts>> Activities>>Maps>> Navigation

I totally understand... Here's the old one. Just extract it from zip and install. I had to zip it due to xdas file size upload constraints...

Hi All,

I am new to the O2 Mini world and the Pocket PC.

I just received my O2 Mini today in the mail and really like it!

I just have a few questions:

1) In the instruction booklet it saids you can turn off the "PHONE" by pressing the off button more than 2 seconds. However I tried and couldn't. What is the way to actually shut of the phone?

2) SD Card. Just wondering in Pocket PC can you actually use the SD card as a HArddrive? ie. I want to install applications to the Pocket PC but as the Mini size is not that big I want to install the application to the SD card? IS it possible?

3) Is it possible to use Activesync via Bluetooth

4) As the O2 Mini does not have Wifi, is it possible to use the Bluetooth to connect back to my Laptop (Wifi Enabled) and then connect to the Internet??

5) What is Advantgo?

6) How does Pocket PC application work? DO you have to install on the laptop/desktop first and the use the Activesync function? Can you install straight away in the Pocket PC?

7) Is there a Chinese Charater reader/writer available for the O2Mini or I must reinstall the ROM with the Chinese O/S?

Many Thanks for your help!
[General Topics] Rudegar:
1 click the signal icon choose fligthmode and it's off

2 yes but sd cards are very slow compared to internal ram so some applications act up if places on it, aslo a sd card have a limited nr of writes before it dies much like cd-rw media

3 yes

4 when your xda is connected to activesync on the laptop then it have acccess to the same network as the laptop have unless you limit it's access

5 some offline browsing pushing thingy you can read about it in help on your xda

6 cab file installs need to be sync'd to the xda and then run (installed)

some exe files are windows exe files and need to be run from the pc and then it autoinstall using activesync

some exe files are CE nativ files and need to be run on the pda

it really depend on the application
[General Topics] newpda12345:
Thanks, jsut want to clarify:

1) so what the instruction booklet said is incorrect? I noted that the flight option works, but it will be good if you can just press the button to switch everything off.

I'm waiting for my i9505 and I really don't like the Samsung Bloatware (I will use CM 10.1 or another good AOSP ROM or even Android 4.3) but there are some interesting apps that might be useful for me, like some camera features and some air gestures, and a nice app for the ir blaster.

I understand that the stock camera has been ported to any custom ROM so it wouldn't be a problem with those features.

So what apps could you recommend me to replace the stock Samsung apps?

Thanks in upfront.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Some of those apps require TouchWiz.

So, you are going to have to wait till they get some Dev magic to run on Aosp.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soyusado:
Thanks man.

I'm aware that you can't run Samsung apps in a third party version of the main the interface.

But I want to know if you, already S4 users, know about some apps that are similar, not the same or with the same features of Stock Samsung apps.

For example, I know if you get a call and you place your phone face down the ringtone stops or if you are getting a call and you move your phone towards your ear it automatically answers.

That kind of features I'd like and I really want a good remote control app, your suggestions are very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

I understand what you are saying.

Personally, I do not use the apps you are seeking.

So, I have never had to seek out alternative versions on the market.

That does not mean that they do not exist.

You may have to use the search function to see what is available.

I like being able to customize alot of things

I like the android 4.1.2 keyboard

I like the photo sphere camera but the gallery for the original camera (I do have the flashable zip)

Im currently using perseus kernel which I like but can only run on android 4.1.2

If I have to list more I will but this is a q&a thread and im rambling on so basically does anyone have any suggestions for a roms or apks to help.

Im not just an average person but im not an expert with computers and electronics.......id say im in the middle lol but any help would be great

I went from cleanrom to Jedi, and i do like it. More features and customizing on jedi. I haven't gone to 15 yet, so i cant say much about the improvement of the kernel with it. Did have an issue installing it though.

But most things come in a flashable zip nowadays, so you can almost be on any rom and get what you want. Just may not be supported.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Naddict:
Sorry folks,

Rom Suggestions = Best Rom and that leads to arguing over what is best for one, may not be best for another.

Okay, so I'm trying to build CM from source for the Galaxy S4 i9505 using the official guide here. I am doing this inside a newly set up Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit virtual machine.

Everything seems to be working fine until I actually run the build. I sit there and let it do its thing but eventually after around 40 minutes "make" gives me an error saying one of the .dex files is killed, then I'm returned to my prompt. I look in the $OUT directory (~/android/system/out/target/product/jfltexx) and some images are there, but no actual .zip for the built system.

It seems like something is going wrong before the build can complete and the computer just gives up, but I have no idea why.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] liinko:
INFO

The attached apks will change PhotoWall images at random, and allow more than 100 pictures to be selected.

If you've used the PhotoWall Live Wallpaper that comes with the phone you've probably noticed

The Images go in the order they appear in the gallery

When you lock then unlock your phone(or reboot) the image resets to the first image

When you open an app that takes the view away from the wallpaper and go back to the homescreen again it resets to the first image

If you chose a lot of images chances are you don't really see most of the images after the first few, so I have modified PhotoWall.apk to grab a random image from the images you have chosen so the above doesn't happen.

Another annoyance is that you are limited to 100 pictures from within your gallery. This is actually a limitation of the gallery and not the PhotoWall app. I've also modified the Gallery app and increased the limit to 1000. I have about 800 pictures selected and PhotoWall seems to be working perfectly.

Installation

Photowall

If you are rooted download PhotoWall.apk

- From your phone memory copy or move PhotoWall.apk to your system/app directory with you favorite root file manager.

- if asked to overwrite or replace say yes.

- reboot device.

If you are not rooted download PhotoWall-nonsystem.apk

- Install as you would any normal non-market app. (you may be asked to turn on Unknown Sources from settings.)

Gallery

Only works for rooted devices.

- Download both SecGallery2_Galaxy.part1.rar and SecGallery2_Galaxy.part2.rar and extract them.

- If you downloaded to your computer copy the extracted SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk to your phone.

- Copy or Move the extracted SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk to your system/app directory with your favorite root file manager.

- if asked to overwrite or replace say yes.

- reboot device.

Issues

If you are not rooted from what I've tested, If you install PhotoWall-nonsystem.apk, after a reboot it resets to the original PhotoWall.apk and you have to reinstall again. (It could just be me, I haven't tested on a non rooted device so confirmation is needed)

Notes/Disclaimer

Gallery is split into 2 because of XDA file size limitations. Download both parts and extract the apk.

While the modifications I did to the apks were minimal and harmless, Install at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything that happens after the installation of included apks. For technical details see post 2.

PhotoWall-nonsystem.apk works with any device with 4.0 or beyond, but I cannot guarantee that it will function correctly. As far as I know it requires the samsung gallery app to be installed, I might work on that later.

Enjoy, and feel free to share and/or include anywhere you'd like.
