I heard this complaint about "old app versions" across few threads...

Really can not get what are you people talking about ?

What "old" versions?

I just updated today to 244 and I have walkman 7.9.A.0.1; album 5.1.A.0.4, movie 5.1.A.0.6 out of the box.

Do we have some newer versions somewhere? please point me to that direction

It's not out of the box if you wiped data ;)
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
did not wipe anything. Actually, I got an OTA.....

Excuses if it might to be a difference :)
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
That's why you have the latest applications,cause you already have it on the previous firmware.

.244 are not receiving till now this ota updates.
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
aha, that way....

Excuses to everyone with the SUS updates ! :)

Drama...absolutely accidentally looked now at the list of all installed apps.... guess what I have 2 Walkmans installed (old one ver.2, and new one ver.7).....

Glitch? What to do now? Of course there is no option to "delete".... should I just disable ver.2 , or leave it as it is .....??? thoughts???
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Uninstall the one that can be uninstalled.
[Xperia Z General] serpicoUK:
Isnt version 2 the widget?
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
no such option.

ver.2 only "disable", ver.7 : "delete updates" and "disable". What is logical for the ROM apps..
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Upload a screenshot,what is album v2?
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
In my case upper "Walkman" is ver.2 and lower is ver.7

Hmmm... I also have 4 pieces of "VerifyCertificatesDummyApp" .... what that one ???? huh....
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Nothing to worry your apps are same as we do,so leave it as it is.
[Xperia Z General] serpicoUK:
I have these?

Is one the widget?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Could be yes.
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
than it's a feature, and not a glitch :) hahaha

BTW, it's indeed 4 "Dummy" apps : http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/58781
[Xperia Z General] serpicoUK:
I am just clueless why my walkman app doesn't give me the music unlimited option.
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
What you mean does not give the option?

Do you have SEN account in Settings->Accounts?

Does the Music Unlimited enabled in Walkman settings?
[Xperia Z General] serpicoUK:
No option
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
WTF ......:(

I do have this option in walkman settings (now it's switched off).

BUT it does not really help because when it was enabled, when I pushed on the Music Unlimited banner, the window popped up saying something like service

does not available in my region..... Hallo.... it was ok on 423.....

Now I switched off Music unlimited in Walkman and deleted SEN account in settings, when phone finishes to charge I will reboot and create create (login) to my SEN account again and see if it will help....
[Xperia Z General] serpicoUK:
I had it on the old firmware 423 but it wouldn't let me use offline as my.phone wasn't authorized but I could use my music unlimited app. Its so annoying and very odd.
[Xperia Z General] serpicoUK:
I have 3 walkman Apps
[Xperia Z General] RalphLauren:
huh... at 23.38 there were just two....one hour later it's already 3.....omg, looks like a bacterial invasion :) hahaha

[Xperia Z General] gm007:
I updated my phone yesterday to. 244 UK unbranded and i got this apps by ota directly.
[Xperia Z General] PaulFernxp:
Same here, all the app updates were available OTA straight after updating to .244
[Xperia Z General] CiscoX:
Finally i got the WALKMAN and Album update over OTA, but what about the Movie app update?
[Xperia Z General] MrZippo:
I updated my generic UK Xperia Z with the new firmware and new media apps and now my album keeps force closing whenever I try to load it. :(
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Wipe album's data in apps settings.
[Xperia Z General] MrZippo:
Yeah i did that a few times and rebooted but still the same thing happens.

For now it's not much of a problem as I am using quickpic but in the near future I will look at resetting the phone and see if that fixes it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshaGibs:
Came up for the idea of a game I would like to be created. It would be called Oriecade a game that is tilting based and solely built on the inspiration of the orientation sensor. It would be a puzzle and arcade game. I figure hey there are a lot of apps on Android that are simple like 4 pics one song. THere for any game can become a hit easily. A random color indicator may be picked that you would have to move the ball to that direction. That or a more simpler direction such as left and right may appear. It registers a color or direction immediately when the ball hits the border of the circle. Time between moves would start slow, and get faster as the game progresses, until you are basically keeping the ball in constant motion (would get very fast). Which would get very challenging. Alternately, you could play timed rounds, and the idea would be to go as fast as possible to rack up as many points as you could. There are no patterns you would have to remember and also no ending sessions. Decided a standard 3 lives should be used since all basic games have them. That way it also gives more of a accomplishment when you get a higher score and it's more impressive. The score would be in increments of 10 since its easier to keep track of how many correct hits you get. It would save all your high scores as well as your initials beside them. In order too pause the game you would simply lay it down on a flat surface. Returning the ball to the middle. It would either be a game people could buy for 99 cents or for free. Either way I dont care about money hell take the idea as yours and make it then do with it as you please. I would be just really happy to finally play the app. Where could I get a developer to use my idea. I just thought it would make a simple wholesome clean little game to murder time with.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hr Kristian:
Not having coding experience is one thing, but you really should finish the game design before trying to find someone who can actually make it.

For instance, before coding the math has to be in order. (Basic rule of acceleration and its effect on ability to shift directions. Score calculation, etc)

How are you at graphic design?

Coders often aren't all that good at it, you can pretty much finish the whole GUI by yourself if you'd want.

Otherwise I'm sure there are some guys here that might appreciate your pitch and make something of it, but if not...

When i take a photo, i get not-fully-writed picture in gallery.

It's something like that:

http://sourceforge.net/p/libjpeg-turbo/bugs/_discuss/thread/d286f1e4/3381/attachment/broken.jpg

What's wrong?

I have HD2 running on MIUI 2.3.30.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:

Have you tried a different camera application?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ham3r:
I don't know why, but Camera is working for now just fine.

Recently, i received brand new Sandisk's microSD card. It's class 10, so everything should be okay.

Maybe that's problem with H/W, HD2 is pretty old.

I have my own ROM based on YUGOport MIUI. Camera was and is miui-stock. I have this ROM since last winter. Just added some adjustments..

But for now: thanks. I pulled out the battery for 2 hours and then everything is okay.
[Nexus 7 General] GoldenNexus7:
Ok, i bought my Nexus 7 2012 4-5 weeks ago, and ever since i have been trying to learn much about my Nexus 7 as possible. I'm already a mediocre on computers, i know the basics and every component of a computer. But i'm not familiar to Android.

Can someone inform me as to what is rooting? I already know some apps for android require rooting in order to operate and a pc is needed to root an android device, and to me rooting is like a counterpart to Apple IOS's jailbreaking?

I've searched many forums threads in many forums, many people talk of ROMS, when concerning the Nexus 7 and/or other Android devices.

Can someone tel me what ROMS are when concerning Android devices?

Any info is appreciated :D
[Nexus 7 General] Sm0k3d 0uT:
Rooting is for Android is the equivalent to JailBreaking iOS.

ROMs are versions of Android built and developed by a third person.

Usually ROMs will have features that are not in stock Android.

Some ROMs are optimized for smoothness and speed others are visually more appealing.
[Nexus 7 General] GoldenNexus7:
Can you give me an example of a rooting method and an example of a android rom?
[Nexus 7 General] shevich:
you can root using wug fresh nexus root toolkit, and you may have heard of cyanogenmod, one of the most frequent and well known roms for android
[Nexus 7 General] Pirateghost:
There are tutorials in the stickies that cover how to root.

As for a ROM, the OS you are using on it is a Stock ROM.

^ this

Read, learn, understand and read some more...... before you touch a thing. Or trouble will come.

Having someone walk you thru it won't teach you anything....or help you to understand what you're doing.

Its very easy to brick your device if you do something incorrectly.

Just my advice! ;)

Sent from my cell phone telephone
[Nexus 7 General] GoldenNexus7:
Thank you for your information everyone, you helped me understand some of this, but i more question what is the term "Bricked"?

Is it a permanent error r crash in your device?
[Nexus 7 General] Rirere:
A "brick" means your device is irrecoverable (from your perspective) and will not respond to any input whatsoever. Basically, your device becomes a paperweight.

Please understand this so that if/when something goes wrong, you don't post another thread screaming "MY TABLET IS BRICKED" when it's actually just bootloading or stuck on a boot screen.
[Nexus 7 General] RootTheMachine:
Sort of... Rooting gives you access to everything on the device, while jailbreaking is still somewhat restricted. Also, jailbreaking is achieved by using exploits, while rooting is possible using utilities already built into the device for development purposes. This is why rooting is incredibly easy, safe, and cohesive across nexus devices and os versions.

It's actually quite hard to brick a nexus device. The only way I can think of is "fastboot erase bootloader". Stay away from that and you'll be okay :D
[Nexus 7 General] Sm0k3d 0uT:
Ahh but your definition of rooting is specific to nexus devices and not android devices in general.

Most non-nexus devices achieve rooting through one form of exploit or another.
[Nexus 7 General] RootTheMachine:
True... But root is root. Once rooted, you've got access to everything.
[Nexus 7 General] Rirere:
Bootloader on a carrier locked device. :P
[Nexus 7 General] GoldenNexus7:
Haha, ok guys, i will just use my device plainly for a while until it gets boring then i'm gonna fill it with Roms and i will root it, do i need only one computer to root, it or i can use multiple. People say rooting your device makes i more vulnerable to drive-by virus downloads and stuff. should i listen to them or is it some anti-root bull****.
[Nexus 7 General] Pirateghost:
Why would you need multiple computers to unlock the bootloader, and flash a recovery? You only have to do it one time. You don't 'root' it every time you want to flash something....

Drive by viruses? Technically could happen without root, root doesn't automatically make it any more unsafe than no root. You just have to be smart about what you install.

Id also recommend WugFresh's toolkit as well!

[Nexus 7 General] freddy0872:
I was only giving my opinion as far as ease of use. Not used to peeps who actually want to work for unlock or root. Majority of people want to press a button and then have no clue what just happened.

So I appreciate your correction. Also thanks for not chomping my head off to much!

Thanks guys, in your opinion, which game pad controller do you guys think is best for android AND my laptop, i want one for android w/ pc. Is there one that even exists, i want to exclude xbox360 controllers an ps3 controllers.
[Nexus 7 General] kidrobot52:
Def don't use a toolkit cant learn much like that. Adb and fastboot is the easiest and safest way to root a nexus device.

So you can start there. Google has some pretty good into on doing all this. If your using a PC make sure to ga grab the drivers. (Linux and osx don't need drivers) and of course searching the nexus forums here at xda you can obtain tons of info. Everything I know I learned here and Google. (Not a pro or anything but know my way a little about android and rooting. :)

And always have fun. :) :)
[Nexus 7 General] msimindlessmsi2:
OP you familiar with Unix/Linux? Root is also used there and is relatively the same. Basically it gives you or root apps elevated permissions, like having admin permissions on a windows PC.

I personally use a PS3 controller on my tablet and phone, because it can be paired via Bluetooth and I already had ps3 controllers. Figured its better than buying a BT controller specifically for android devices.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Schmerg:
I installed Modaco switch Beta 8 on my HTC One after rooting it and installing TWRP custom recovery. I can't post a link in this because I haven't posted on the site enough. If you just google MoDaCo swtich, the information will show up. Sorry for the inconvenience but Switch is actually a very cool rom that gives the best of both worlds.

It was working well and I was not having any problems until I downloaded an app called Haxsync. Haxsync syncs Facebook information into People because stock does not support that like Sense does. I pulled the notification shade down and clicked the app, the phone proceeded to completely shut down. I was in the stock 4.2.2 rom when it cut out. I tried to reboot it and got the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. Then the GPE boot screen came on and once finished the "htc quietly brilliant" came back up and it goes nowhere. I can get into the boot loader and it says "unlocked" and "tampered", S-ON is also there. When I try to get into my TWRP recovery the TWRP splash screen comes up and then it jumps back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen and it wont go away. When I select factory reset, it brings the TWRP screen again and then goes back to the "htc quietly brilliant".

I tried to unlock the boot loader again but when I tried to push the Unlock_code.bin file to the phone again, the unlock boot loader screen never comes up. I tried to unlock the boot loader again because it would presumably factory reset the phone so that I could reroot it and reinstall the Switch rom and go back the way it was before. Sadly that would not work.

I am on running Mountain Lion on my mac and windows 8 through bootcamp. The HTC One drivers do not work on windows 8 no matter how hard I try and what i do to try to upgrade them. If I need access to a WIndows 7 pc then so be it.

From my research I need to relock the boot loader and then run the RUU thing to factory reset it back to the stock firmware. I can't figure out how to relock it with my mac and the RUU wont won't on mac. I don't know how the "S-ON" works in here.

If my phone has to be completely wiped then so be it and I will work back from scratch. As long as I can get my phone back I will be a happy camper.

Suggestions and help are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Does anyone know of tmobiles LTE plans? I switched to tmobile under the impression my area already had LTE. I'm in Elgin,Illinois. If I go 10 minutes down the road to south Elgin they have lte. It seems a lot of my immediate surroundings do except Elgin. It's not a huge deal because the hspa+ is still getting 10-12 dl speeds.

A few blocks down the road, i notice there is a bridge i always seem to be waiting for. It get's LTE there. I also get it in my Home in LW - so south of WPB. all of these areas within 20 miles.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quendil:
Hello everyone!

One of the main reasons i root my phone is to be able to delete useless files and folders in root's DATA folder.

Files and folders like LOGS, DALVIK CACHE (when i have uninstalled many applications and only with a specific "method" described in third post), ANR and TOMBSTONES can be deleted to save some storage space.

Do YOU know any other files or folders that are useless and can be safely deleted?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Do NOT delete Dalvik-Cache and Tomestones.

I don't have logs so that is safe to delete that and you can delete the files inside the ANR folder but not the whole thing.

If you want to remove unused Dalvik cache then get Titanium Backup and the key.

If you see .yuv files in the data folder then that is useless since that it created by the HDR mode by the camera by taking pictures with that mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quendil:
Sorry about the dalvik files, i didnt make myself clear.

I only delete those when i have uninstalled many applications

What i do then is turn off the phone, turn it back on, delete all the dalvik files and quickly reboot.

Gonna edit the first post.

Hey there guys. I wast interested these day to flash my phone a custom rom. i have it for almost a year and was interested to flash a new rom. i'm not new to these things but i do have some questions and if you guys can help me

1. What's the advantage if i S-OFF the phone? because i read that after you flash the rom in TWRP you have to flash from fastboot the boot.img and that's kind of unusual since on my htc hero and hp touchpad i didn't do that

2.I am interested in flash a MIUI rom of a CM 10.1 or maybe 10.2 since it's out and a lot of things are working, are these ones working or they still got major problems ?

3.I need to rely on my phone for every day use, so compared to the current software that the phone has, are there any better roms or is it better to remain stock ?

-i don't use my phone to play on it, just mails, music, reading and anything else, besides playing.

Thanks for the help in advance, Stefan
[HTC One S] Stano36:
Hi,

1 preferably S-OFF is to install custom ROM without a computer (fastboot)

2 All Sense ROM are useful for daily use CM ROMs have problems with the camera (quality photos), MIUI ROM contains only English and Chinese language.
[HTC One S] stefpaul:
Thanks the response.

So the S-OFF gives me access to directly flash the boot image from the .zip file without req a pc, that's good news. Did you had a chance to test the MIUI rom with the last update or other versions? As i said before, i need a rom that is in good condition, fast, no bloatware and no bugs :D

PS: i only use the phone in english :p so there is no problem with the language part.

Stefan :D
[HTC One S] Stano36:
MIUI I tried the previous version and I had no lack of language (I can not speak English)
