Bill, I had a similar problem with my wifes XDA II when I loaded Tomtom software onto it. I did the following and it resolved the problem for me, so you may want to give it a try (assuming you still have the problem).

Tap on Start (on the desktop screen)

Select Settings

Select the system tab at the bottom of the screen

Tap on the memory icon

Select the Running Programs tab

This opens up a window which shows you all the programs which are currently running on your PPC

Select STOP ALL from the options available

This will close all programs running on the system and free up your memory resource, so now go back to the desk top view.

Then start your Tomtom program up again as you would do normally and see if it freezes on you this time.

IMPORTANT ADVISE - You must close Tomtom down from the options within the program which, on my system is a large red EXIT APPLICATION icon found in the Navigator Menu.

Hope this works for you as well as it did for me.

Good luck :lol:

8) Go to the windows startup folder and delete connections.exe.

That will free up a lot of resources

Other than connections.exe..

Hey everyone,

I just received my XDA IIs from Hong Kong 3 days ago. Since then, the PDA portion is working great. But the phone keeps locking up. I cannot hear caller and they cannot hear me. I have been soft resetting at least 2 x a day...and missing calls.. :(

is there anything else that we should delete?

Thanks!

There is an inherent problem with the audio on this particular model (Blue Angel)

The problem seems to escalate if you use the Bluetooth Audio.

I experience the problem 2-3 times a week, even with the connections.exe removed from the Windows/Startup Folder.

Hopefully a new release of the Radio/Firmware will cure the problem.

My nexus 4's screen shattered, now I have tmobile gs4. Why are the animations not as smooth as on the nexus 4? I'm running what's supposed to be an aosp based rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] V6iNSPIRE:
What aosp rom are you running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
For me if you install a Google edition ROM on the gs4 it will be silky smooth there are three or so to choose from that have some slight tweaks. Jamison,evilart, and Mr virg all have silky smooth stable Google edition ROMs. Try any of those and you should be set. The true aosp ROMs are still very much new on the s4 so they all have some slight bugs here and there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
which animations are you talking about? launcher animations or boot animations?

if its launcher animations, then its just you, silky smootheness here.

if its boot animations, then its the same here. i made my own boot animation and for the life of me i cant get it to go past like 5 fps, while on other phones (non s4) its smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Actionx1:
I just noticed this during the weekend. I was running GE rom, which is the smoothest rom I've ran on this phone, and I started messing around with my friends Stock Nexus 4 and I saw the lag.

It's not so much a lag in animations, it's more of a lag to actually get something done (open an app, go into a setting) you'll really of notice is if you put it next to the Nexus 4 or if you've used a Nexus 4 for a while.

You'll eventually get used to it.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padooka:
So I've read that a few people on this forum have removed their Factory ASF, though I haven't read much feedback on how this affected the device:

- was the sensitivity of the screen altered?

- did the screen quality change?

- is there sticky residue left after removal?

- if so, does the residue come off after a few weeks of removal?

I've watched several videos where the ASF is removed off of the Xperia Z, but I have yet to come across videos for the Xperia TABLET Z.

(Just Search "Xperia Z anti shatter film removal" on Youtube)

So far, the feedback is good for removing the ASK off the Xperia Z, but is it really safe for the Xperia Tablet Z?

Should I :

a) Remove the ASF and leave it as so

b) Remove the ASF and purchase a screen protector.

c) Leave the ASF on and purchase a screen protector

I have no scratches on my device yet, but I am afraid of having some in the future due to the fragility of the ASF.

Thanks!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padooka:
I recklessly went ahead and removed the ASF with a box cutter and peeled of the film and I am satisfied with the results!

Youtube link : youtube.com/watch?v=xuwHzRYnzQY (sorry, new user -> cant post links)

The SONY logo is still on, but after washing the surface with a cloth and water, most of the adhesive is gone and it has a much better feel to it than the default film!

With that said, I plan on purchasing a Screen Protector anyways and have just bought the Poetic Slimline Case.

So far, I like the change because there is:

>Less Friction (After washing the tablet)

>Bettter Responsiveness

>Scratch resistance that eclipses the ASF

>A more premium feel to the screen

This DOES void your warranty so be wary of that, but in my opinion this was a worthwhile change!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmikeb92:
I have been thinking about doing this since the day I got my xtz and an hour later seeing a small scratch. Does the true screen really seem more scratch proof?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padooka:
It actually is resistant to scratches, I have absolutely no idea why Sony decided to apply a scratchable film on top of their scratch resistant screen, it really seems like nonsense. Plus, the glass surface seems smother after washing it, so I definitely recommend doing it, I doubt it affects shatter resistance, if you drop your tablets from 1 meter/3ft, it's screen is likely to break either way.

I ordered the Poetic Slimline Case, so that'll add protection to the tablet too; it theoretically renders the ASF's "purpose" useless since it offers shock redistribution. The screen remains a fingerprint magnet, though, but it's not as bad as having the film on.

My Questions: Answered

Q - was the sensitivity of the screen altered?

A: Yes, The screen feels more responsive. An overall improvement. +1

Q - did the screen quality change?

A: The screen is definitely clearer and fingerprints are less prominent An overall improvement. +1

Q - is there sticky residue left after removal?

A: Yes, but a cloth and water or a screen washing solution removes it after a bit of rubbing, not much effort is needed.

Q - if so, does the residue come off after a few weeks of removal?

A: Refer to above answer.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zb134:
I removed the shatterproof film on mine within a week of getting the tablet. I hate the feel of screen protectors and like to leave all my devices unprotected!

Anyway, I'd highly recommend anyone thinking of it to go ahead and remove it. YES, it does improve touch sensitivity and its so much better to touch real glass than a plastic film. I didn't notice much change in the display quality and would love to see a kernel which will let me change some of the gamma settings (way too warm for me now and blacks aren't dark enough).

Removing the film is not that easy and there will be some residue left behind but it comes off with a days use.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
I also removed the film.

Now I find the color reproduction better, picture seems brighter, touch sensitivity unchanged.

And indeed the feeling of touching glass is better!

Only thing is, now the rim is a bit higher than the screen glass (just the amount that equals the thickness of the Sony screen protector which is surprisingly thick), which doesn't feel as smooth to the fingers when holding the device.

You can adjust the white balance by rooting the tablet and installing the white balance from the Xperia ZL. There is a thread somewhere (Xperia ZL white balance ported to Xperia Z or so) with instructions how to install. Works flawlessly here. For removing the yellowish/greenish tint, you have to increase the saturation of blue/violet tones (complementary color).
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmikeb92:
I can't seem to get the peeling started any pointers?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
You have to cautiously lift one corner of the film with a very thin blade, for instance a carpet knife. Then you can grab the film and peel it off.

I am still rocking the shipping plastic screen which goes over the ASF. lol.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etrex1221:
I'd just like to point out the "purpose" of the shatterproof screen protector is to prevent shattering (key word being shatter meaning shards of glass coming Off the screen the screen) which the protector does its job and keeps the shards on the device thus making it shatterproof. It does not make it crack proof. And replacing with another screen protector Will retain the original shatterproof ability. I am happy to have stumbled across this thread as I was unaware there was a protector and was mad that it scratched so easily. Now I have a way to remove those scratches.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1ntse:
I have to be entirely honest here, i got my XTZ 4 months ago and i just now realised it even has an antishatter film
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperi@z:
i was directed here by another kind member, after noticing my EasyAcc case was causing scratches on the screen.

I am glad that the screen itself has not been scratched, but instead the ASF. Was effing annoyed when I saw the scratches!

Now that I know it is just the ASF I am going to keep it on and allow it to take more punishment before I take it off! Then i'll decide whether to buy another protector or leave the screen naked.

Was considering getting the Official Sony case, but feedback from people here is not good, so I guess the seach continues for an alternative case.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zb134:
I'd recommend against buying the Sony case. It's too expensive for the design and quality. My first one was damaged within 2 months of normal use.... Luckily they replaced it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeViller:
removing ASF from my tablet Z is the best thing I have done..... sharper and more responsive with my stylus.... and more ....

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globiboulga:
I just removed mine almost two years after I bought the tablet. Brilliant. You can imagine the level of scratching on the tablet by now!!!! Now, let's get lollipop and it'll feel like that I got a brand new tablet for nothing!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkimmortal:
Removed mine after many years with this tablet and sadly regret:

- Glass is uncoated so feels worse to touch, has higher friction, and picks up oily marks. Refraction from fingerprints is now visible when the display is on; oleophobic coating normally prevents this

- Screen appearance is identical, no change in colours/contrast/etc. I'm a nerd when it comes to monitor calibration so I don't say this lightly!

- Most importantly: touch input is degraded. I have verified with the developer tools that swipes misbehave - either registering as a tap, or as a swipe that jumps to the corner of the screen. Scrolling feels broken now - often fails to continue momentum scrolling after removing finger due to the corner jump

Overall would not recommend, the digitiser is calibrated for the ASF to be present. The only positive is fewer scratches.

I am used to holding down the home button on the past 5 years worth of devices to show the past apps.

Any way you could change it on this phone?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Yes. Outside of development, there's a way to accomplish this on the user end.

What you'll need:

- Tasker (paid app - worth every penny)

- Assistant Event for Tasker

- Autoshortcut

- Nova Launcher (you don't need to switch to it/start using it; you only need it installed)

What to do:

- Open Tasker

- Create a new profile

- Select State from the list

- Choose Plugin

- Select Assistant Event for Tasker

- Select Edit, and it should automatically enable

- Press back, then select New Task (you can skip entering a task name)

- Add an action (tap the plus symbol at the bottom of the screen)

- Select Plugin, then Autoshortcut

- Tap Edit, and scroll down to Nova Launcher; select it.

- On the next screen, you should see Recent Apps as an option; select it.

- Hit back several times until you've exited the Tasker app.

- Long press home and select Assistant Event for Tasker as the default.

- Done :) - Long press home now opens recent apps.

Put a new battery on my phone since I've been having charging problems (yes I've tried different cables this was last resort), battery was fully charged turned phone on and left it alone for half hour. I check the phone and it's gone down to 90% in that time.. I checked Gsam to see what was using up the battery and 70% was being used by "Media" im not downloading anything so I don't know why it's using up so much power...

I'm on Slim Rom Build 7 with K7 kernel if that's any help but I've been having battery problems/charging problems for awhile now no matter what Rom I use... stone have any ideas why it would be draining my battery like that?

Move your media files off your phone, then clear data on Media Storage and reboot. Wait a bit and watch for it to continue. If it stops acting up, copy your files back to your device.

This used to be a big issue last year with all our leaked firmware. Media scanner would hang up on something causing it.
