And i don't understand this ;P I mean... Why part of people have laggy statusbar and part have smooth.

Do you have maybe good video camera? Maybe could you make short video when you show your statusbar behavior? Unfortunately i don't have and i can't make video of my statusbar behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catalin.v:
The bugs seem to very much device-related. Regarding the status bar smoothness, for me it's quite the opposite, it's better with WiFi off.

I'm not facing the other bugs you mentioned, tho, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I didn't get a single reboot nor any other bugs than the one mentioned before. I'm running on stock kernel, with the CM gapps, using the GEL Launcher and the new Dialer with 'Search for nearby places' (flashing that might have caused the access point names bug, although they don't seem to be related, but I haven't experienced any FC till that moment).

I'm eager to see how battery life will be using the extended battery I just ordered, I'm getting near 3 hours display time on WiFi and ~2h10m with 3G on for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] migadeath:
There were no such option (home option) in menu until I've installed nova launcher. Then system adds this menu entry. Within this menu entry is settings button for trebuchet and there was larger icons option checked that causes scaled/fuzzy icons. That solves "strange" icon look for me. :o Maybe somebody finds this post use full.

Thanx boys for pointing me in right direction! I'm trying Nova now when it is installed already. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salugsog:
Mine's smooth too, but I can easily reproduce the stutter regardless of kernel I use: Just press volume down until it is on vibrate mode (with the vibrate icon appearing at the status bar). Then boom! Smooth status bar has suddenly gone on a holiday. The stuttery one takes over. Check if you can reproduce it in the same manner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daxisalive:
I've found that it's not only the sound but the combination of network connection and sound state (at least in my case). Try this:

1. Silent/vibrate + no wifi/mobile data = no lag

2. Sound + wifi = no lag

3. Silent/vibrate +wifi = lag

4. Sound + no wifi/mobile data = lag.

Can anyone reproduce this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Atento:
Completely normal here in any case. No difference between them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daxisalive:
I will report after a clean wipe install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
I did. It lags when there are 5 or more icons on the status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kustaa:
Yessss!! Totally. It's like you said. I tried all the variants, and you're right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daxisalive:
I think your statement is the best representation of this bug. Tried turning bluetooth and wifi on while I was on silent. This had 5 icons (silent, bluetooth, wifi, battery and signal) at which point it started lagging. When I turned bluetooth off, the lag stopped. Then I set an alarm and the lag started again. Then i turned on sound (to get rid of silent icon) and the lag was gone. Well done in spotting this [MENTION=2195956]doomed151[/MENTION]!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kustaa:
And how do you explain the lag when wifi off (only data) and alarm in my case, thats 3 icons counting battery. And then if I set silence the lag is gone. Thats nothing to do with the 5 icons thing

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Ok guys I think I found it! It's just matter of Even and Odd number of icons. If there is an Even number of icons on status bar (not counting clock nor notifications) there will be No Lag. But, if there is an Odd number, there will be lag. I tried this up to 7 icons.

EDIT: this works most of the times, but it's not always true, read below.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
Not getting lags with 3 icons though (battery, wifi (connected) and mobile signal). I'm sure this is a fault with the source and not an actual performance issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kustaa:
D#mn...you're right...so my statement is not completely true. Its a combination of number of icons and actually what icons are involved. Well, I know nothing about code so I'll keep looking for combinations lol. At least to workaround the lag til it's fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
It would be nice if any developer want to be interested about it... So far i can't see any respond from devs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
Another way to get rid of the lag is to apply a theme but not all of them do the job. You'll have to try them one by one.

For example: this theme cures the lag but this theme doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saeed14i:
All the people with lag issues... Are you guys on stock kernel that comes with the ROM? I think the lag may be due to flashing a different Kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Atento:
5 icons running smooth as usual. No problems at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
Tested on both stock and various custom kernels. I don't think this issue is kernel related at all.

Which icons? So far I've noticed that it definitely lags with this set of icons: battery, mobile signal, Wi-Fi, alarm and vibrate.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Okay :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
I have read pretty much every post in this forum over the past few days, and have finally pulled the trigger on an Xperia Z ultra in black. MY HTC One was promptly sold on eBay to help fund the purchase. Really looking forward to getting it (especially as I have borrowed a friends iPhone 4s to use while I wait - such a tiny screen). Ordered it from Hong Kong from an eBay seller, really hoping I don't get hit with a massive import tax charge (I'm in the UK). I guess only time will tell. Will post my thoughts once it arrives. Hopefully my only concern re the purchase will be dispelled (will it fit in my trouser pocket).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Wellcome to the club, you won't regret it, just out of interest what the name of the company you ordered it from, wondering if it's the same as the one I used.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
Hello, bought it from here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380693324719?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

So hoping I wont get stung with massive import charges as Im already struggling to justify the purchase of the phone to the wife. Although my recently bought iPad mini might soften the blow if I give it to her.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Looks sound to me, got good feedback, give the Mrs the Ipad definately, heres a link for screen protectors if you want, theres loads of screen to scratch. The only cases apart from TPU gel ones are in Hong Kong or China etc.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMRICK-Tra...UTF8&qid=1376464090&sr=1-258&keywords=SAMRICK

You've probably got it sorted but theses are good with protection layers each side.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] daleski75:
I am close to doing the same and funnily enough I also have a HTC One but just waiting to see how much the LTE version costs and then will see if I can really justify it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
Cheers for all the help with the links guys, much appreciated. I really liked my HTC One, but I used the official hard case, and it scraped the phone. I am very anal about my tech, and loose interest if it gets marked at all.

Going to have a look at the screen protectors now, dont want the screen getting damaged.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Let me know how you get on with the charges mate, Id be very interested to find out.

I actually emailed the same company yesterday to see if they could mark the value down for customs purposes ;) I've not had a reply though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
An update. The seller above agree to mark the price at 1/3rd of the value and mark as a gift to cut down on import charges. I still haven't bought it yet. Im trying to hold out for the C6833 LTE model.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Oh... you are going to love it!!! I wish i could see your face when you unbox it and see the size for the first time haha.

I love mine and could not be happier with it! Be sure to post your impressions when you get the beast ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
My Xperia Z Ultra arrived this morning, two day shipping from Hong Kong to the UK, and no import charges, very happy teddy.

When the package arrived the box wasn't overly large, so was thinking the phone isn't that large, I opened the box, and boy its large, impressively so.

I work in computer forensics so am fairly techy, as are the guys I work with, but I initially I got a barrage of Dom Jolly Jokes. For those that don't know, he is a UK comedian: http://cdn2.business2community.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dom-joly-phone.jpg

Anyway, back to the phone, and I have only had it for about two hours, so they are fairly initial impression. The phone is simply stunning, yes its large, yes Im going to probably going to struggle to get it to fit into some of my trouser pockets, yes I might look like an idiot taking a call until I buy a SBH52, but you know what, I don't care. The quality of the phone is simply stunning, screen has to be seen to be believed. Now I have had pretty much every flagship Android phone, even dabbled with an iPhone 5 for a bit, have a Retina iPad and a, typing this on a Mac Thunderbolt monitor, so I have seen many high quality screens; the Xperia Z Ultra screen, in my opinion surpasses them all. The level of detail has to be seen to be believed,and when holding it watching the Smurfs 2 trailer that came with the phone, the phone actually shudders when the volume is turned up, simply awesome, its like a built in sub woofer.

I updated the software to the latest version as soon as I switched it on, and the phone has been super quick, no lags, nothing at all.

The phone has a nice weight to it, not too heavy, but heavy enough to know that you are holding a quality piece of tech. I have had no issue with sim card installation (there is a little guide on the plastic on the back of the phone), and the cover pressed closed firmly. So far I have had no issues with screen tearing, or black screen as others have reported (I bought the black one).

I feel like I am starting to ramble a little, so I will stop here. Suffice to say that if you are on the fence, and are worried about the size like me, don't be, buy it, every other phone is now looking a little small.

I will try to answer any questions if anyone has any. Oh, and these are just my thoughts and opinions, I am not saying that they are right, and if you have a differing opinion, you are not wrong, these are simply my thoughts.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Thanks for posting your detailed first impressions. Couldn't agree with you more. I love my Ultra!

Like I said in my first impressions too, its the best screen I've seen on any mobile device. Period. Can't believe pocket now said it was 'mediocre'.... If this screen is mediocre then call me blind.

But yeah, it's funny... After I unboxed mine.. I thought the phone looked bigger than the box it arrived in haha. Optical illusion :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
What colour would you recommend getting? I'm torn between black and white.

Black - looks sleek and smooth and discrete. Concerned about fingerprints though :(

White - draws more attention probably, cant see finger prints but am worried about the white framing of the display at the front distracting from the screen.

Thoughts? Help me choose!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
I went for black, I normally go for white in phones, but I personally think that as its such a big device the all blacks makes it all the sleeker. I have to e honest though, I nearly got it in white, but also felt that the white would appear larger. Probably a silly notion, but hey. Phone totally rocks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Are the fingerprints on the black as bad as they make out on the video reviews and hands ons?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Yeah the black one is a fingerprint magnet but mainly on the back. The front display seems to be more resistant to oil etc.

I bought the white one because I liked the silver framing and I thought it gave the device a more defined look :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Thanks for the reply :)

Love your videos by the way :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mozzy:
What happens with warranty issues since its brought from abroad?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'll go with the black. I like white phones, but they have to be 100% white (including the front), or else i think it looks a little off. The black is classy and minimalistic, while the zebra version is more stylish i guess (depending on who you ask).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mozzy:
+1
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Thank you very much :)

Using the White Z Ultra reminds me of a Macbook Pro a little. Big screen with black glass and the silver trim around the edges. Very classy.

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
The seller provided a 14 day warranty on the phone, I guess after that I'm on my own unless there is some form of Sony worldwide warranty.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
Yeah, I have to give you a massive thanks as well, it was mostly your honest opinion in your videos that allayed any fears or reservation I had of the phone, and ultimately allowed me to make the decision. Kudos dude. The white does look awesome, but I personally like the black. to be totally honest I don't think it makes a massive difference worth the colour, the phone is so good, and looks so good both colours are awesome.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JamDonot:
I have kept the plastic cover on the back until I get a cover, so can't comment on the finger prints, want to kept the phone as perfect add I can
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] epulrevo:
Shoud i get this or wait for honami?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
Also got the black one and.I.don't regret it. The screen looks even bigger.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
This depends on what your preferences are.

Both will probably be equal in terms of raw power.

If you do a lot of reading, watching movies, YouTube etc and web browsing. Buy the Z Ultra.

If you take a lot of photos and a good camera is essential for you, buy the Honami.

They are aimed at 2 different types of users. You just have to find out what you want. Keep in mind the Z Ultra has a much bigger screen.

On my old sx56 I was able to have custom folders under programs like "Internet", "Utilities" etc... I did this by cooking a ROM- but with my new magician I can't cook- so how do I get these- I know I can just make new folders in the windows-startup-programs directory but I liked the nice icons.

Anyone know how???

Is there a way around it? Each time I flash a ROM I have to manually input the APN settings for AIO wireless. Its not a big deal, but I'd like to save a step when flashing.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
You can edit the xml file in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml to include your APN, then make a backup or flashable-zip. Manually replace the file each time you install a new ROM, or better yet, use flashable zip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_Am_Lorde:
What would be the best way to create a flashable zip? I have seen a few blank ones floating around, and ways to do it from the PC, but I'm looking to do it from my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obtained:
I attached a flashable zip for you. You can try it, if your apn isn't in there just extract the apns-conf.xml from the zip, add your apn in the same format the others are in, then put back in zip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_Am_Lorde:
Thank you very much! For future reference, how did you go about creating the flashable zip provided?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obtained:
I didn't actually make that. I got it from somewhere a while ago and remembered that I had it. But flashable zips are usually quite simple. Just add/remove files and directories to the zip and edit the updater script to reflect what you want extracted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_Am_Lorde:
Thank you for your help! I unzipped the file you gave me and entered my APN settings then rezipped it. You learn something new each day!

[Xperia SP General] Xadious:
From the image posted, i can't see any improvement in the quality of the photo other than the brightness which could be down to the weather. The detail is just as rubbish with the new firmware. Photos with the SP look like they've been taken with one of those cheap tiny spycam's that people attach to their bikes.

My older Xperia S (upgraded firmware) photo quality is much better than the Xperia SP which is a shame because initially i hated the Xperia S photo quality (mainly focus problems though) which is why i was so desperate to upgrade to a new phone. I feel like a muppet thinking Sony would learn the mistakes from the past and yet here they go again, the company that makes the actual hardware and sells it to other phone makers but apparently it has no clue how to refine the software to get the best results while others with Sony's hardware manage to get better results.

You should have removed the transformers logo from status bar and crappy apps and add some good apps from xperia rom.

Other things are working fine till now.

Hello there

I have a strange problem with clockworkmod recovery (I'm running v6.0.3.2, along with Cyanogenmod 10.1 on the galaxy s 3 int. version)

In order to flash CM 10.2 nightly, I downloaded the nightly and the 4.3 gapps, as recomended in the Cyanogenmod 10.2 thread.

But when I boot into recovery, CWM doesn't find the zips, instead it finds the zip of a older 10.1 nightly and 4.2 gaps, which I deleted both a while ago.

Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a solution? Or is there a way to refresh cwm, so it finds the files?

Thanks for your help

How about this??

your older files (cm10.1.zip and 4.2 gapps) weren't deleted and your new files (cm10.2.zip and 4.3 gapps) weren't copied to your internal sdcard.

May be the problem is not with your CWM recovery.

Try adb pushing the newer files and deleting older files via root explorer.
