[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deadlyff:
Hello bros,

I bought Xperia Z ULTRA (C6802) from China last month. I am using in Turkey now but there are some problems. The first time i opened the phone, the google apps(play store,chrome, google+,gmail etc.) are not included in it. I downloaded google play store apk and set up it. When I open it, the app immediately stop working like what happens in this video:

[YOUTUBE]C1FqvlhBOT8&feature=youtu.be[/YOUTUBE]

How can I fix this problem ? What should I do? Any suggestions?

Also, the games(Asphtalt 8 etc.) from Gameloft give error ".... has stopped working" For this, I also need help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Make a backup of your data and repair your firmware with PC Companion(plug your phone on your PC and make like if you want to update, it'll say that your phone is already up to date (if you did the update) and if you look a bit down on this Window you'll see you can repair the phone).

Don't know what they did with your phone before send it to you, but normally Plastered and some gasps apps should be on the phone already.

The only chinese Android devices i've seen that doesn't come with gapps, are fake devices. I doubt that's the case here, but it's incredible weird that a Sony phone doesn't come with gapps.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deadlyff:
Thank you for message.

I repaired and update my firmware with Sony PC Comparasion. But it still does not.

Sony says so on the official site:These applications(Google Apps) are not available in different markets.(China etc.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deadlyff:
My phone is original. Please watch video. I have the same problem.

Sony says so on the official site: These applications(Google Apps) *are not available in different markets.(China etc.)

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Have you tried to manually download the Play Store apk and install it that way? Download it from here (just download it with the browser on your Ultra - if you have one :p )
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deadlyff:
:) I have purple one. I tried, but the same error.

Do you want some pics or videos?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It would be cool if you could take a screenshot of the "About" screen (in settings). What should work though is to root and manually move the Play Store apk to /system/app.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deadlyff:
Thank you. Why gameloft games are closing?

help please
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
your model number says XL39h

Mine from HK says C6802

If your hardware is authentic sony, flashing the correct ROM on it will make it same as others.

I know nothing about china market, or how different chinese ZU is to outside china...

Flash a different firmware on it. It will solve all problem

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibaultvw:
Hi, I restored a backup of the stock rom in TWRP. Now an update by google is pushed to my device. It is around 1 MB. Can I install it in TWRP? And how to do so? :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibaultvw:
I dont mind losing my custom recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Download the appropriate update zip from here. Yours is probably the 4.3-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.

Boot into twrp and flash it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibaultvw:
So I am not able to install the downloaded file in TWRP? And it is the stock rom I am already using without losing anything?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
You are able to install it via TWRP. You can download the file from the link above. After flashing you shouldnt lose anything, but make a nandroid backup just in case.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibaultvw:
Yeah but I meant I cant install the downloaded file provided straight from google at system updates in "system updates"? :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Oh sorry. Well yes you can do that, im just not sure what location that file is downloaded to. (Try googling, or maybe someone else knows where is located)

But the one from the link i provided above should be the same as the one that will be downloaded from the system update straight to your phone.

For SMS messages you could get Tablet Talk, I use it and it works great. Not sure if anything like it exists for whatsapp though.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RotteRotte:
Hello. I have my PS3 turned on and trying to log in via the built in PlayStation Mobile app. It just says "This service is not available in your country/region". Why is this app even installed on my device if I can't use it? I'm of course trying to log in with my working Playstation Network ID.

Can it have something to do with bying the phone from UK (I live in Norway). If that's the case, any ideas, please ? :)

Cheers, yo.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
It does indeed have to do with the fact that you bought the phone from the UK. The Playstation Mobile app is supported in the UK so that's why it comes pre-installed there. You can just remove the app if you really don't like it though.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4v1n:
Also I tried to update the app when prompted and when i tap install it doesn't do anything, i can only hit cancel??
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] friedrich420:
Hello!!

I dont know if im the only one, but i never understood why the Stock Android Smileys are the ugly green ones.

That's why I modded the SecMms,apk of the Note 3, to provide you with 7 (yeah, that;s right) different custom smiley sets.

Also, im providing the Stock ones in case anyone wants to revert back.

I will be attaching screenshots soon, but I would love if someone with the actual Note 3 took screenshots of the different smiley sets for us ;)

*** The SecMms.apk that I modded was taken from my own prerooted, deodexed, .zipaligned version of the official N9005XXUBMI7 firmware ***​

​

​

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Like with everything else, do a NANDROID BACKUP first!!

- Flash via recovery the .zip with the smileys you want and reboot ;)

My note 3 is stock. Do I have to be rooted to install any of these? I hate the green monsters on the stock keyboard.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] saywhatt:
Yes. Also, use a custom recovery
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] testmonkey1:
Unfortunately doesn't work on 4.4. Ugh I hate the ugly stock smileys
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] saywhatt:
I think it shud given that it's the stock messaging. Anyway, you could try "smiley replacer".. it's an xposed app :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] testmonkey1:
I tried it but unfortunately it doesn't work as well. At least in the Google Hangouts and other chat apps I use. Maybe it's working in the stock messaging app but I didn't check because I've deleted it.

Anyways basically I need something that works system wide on 4.4
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mehdi.moha:
you know , i want to say :

YOU ROCK MAN !!!

i hate the default smiley too much ,

i already useing your echo-rom secmms.apk on XXND3 , works like charm :) , finally i can sent emoji via sms :D ;)

do these apks enable to send emoji via mms ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] saywhatt:
it won't work on third party apps. it's basically just a theme to cover those green smileys on the secmms.apk (tw stock messaging) :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] judianmac:
Soo. since I am still fairly new and a big CHICKEN...Do we have to download the sets separately or is there a full set of all of them available? thx:confused:

Yup. For anyone wanting something that works system wide, after a long search I finally found this:

Bro, can I resize it to 0, I don't want the nav bar to be apears, cos' my phone already has the hardkeys, but I want to keep the soft menu key in app.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DaRk-L0rD:
Take a backup and then try to add this line to your build.prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 .

Could work this way too. Don't know if you can add as value 0 to be honest bro
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Got any idea on how to change the status bar size?

Using the mod with Z1 Taskswitcher but the statusbar seems smaller than stock. :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jaydvn:
If I add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop then the 3 dots menu key will disapear, but I want to keep it without the navbar, and I can't resize to 0 because I can't recompile framework-res.apk back.

I've installed MIUI v5, and it has soft menu key enable without the navbar. but I want it on stock ROM.

Thanks!

Apparently one bought in kuwait has same restriction. Refer here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46011608
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
The way the region lock works is that you have to use a Sim from THAT region you bought the phone when you first activate it. Then you can use it elsewhere. If you activate it with a different region Sim then its locked to THAT region of the Sim you used to activate the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayat55:
So even though it is from UAE and doesn't have the sticker on it should I still put the UAE sim in first? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxzh:
Is that locking which you describe to the SIM of THAT different region a process which:

- requires no further Samsung intervention as it all happens automatically courtesy of the software with which the phone originally shipped; OR

- requires you to go to the local Samsung service centre to get it unlocked and realigned to that different region.

If the locking to THAT different region is embedded in the phone software which it ships with, is there any way of explaining the source of this information because it would seem to imply every phone will contain in advance of activation the different whitelists/ blacklists applicable to all the different region locks so that it can cope with whatever SIM happens to be the first one inserted?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Yes I would still put the Phone's origin Sim in there to activate it that way it doesn't lock out others. Apparently ALL of the N3 are like that no matter where you get them unless you get the Unlocked International ones.

http://www.talkandroid.com/176951-s...onal-sim-lock-situation-not-so-bad-after-all/

This is where I got my information from. I did some more digging into it and it appears that it is legit. Unfortunately for the US, I'm pretty sure they are going to have it locked down even MORE.

Please don't quote PR messages that were not verified before. Everybody should be aware now that this is not true at all, moreover, Samsung intend to enforce this policy to older devices through kitkat and 4.3 upgrades.

I have the Note3 from O2 here in the UK and although I have registered it with the O2 sim it will NOT accept a sim from another region. I made a call to O2 and was told they will send me the Sim unlock key within 7days.

I also misunderstood when be said root, I always think superuser or supersu when I think of root.. My apologies everyone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That is correct, but you left out the part where he needs to get temp root to get SuperCID (3.18 unlock method) before any of that is possible. Trying to unlock the bootloader before doing that will simply fail. It's fine to help people but you must provide all of the necessary information.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Here's how to flash TWRP once you've unlocked your bootloader. This is assuming that you have adb/fastboot and HTC drivers installed on your pc of course.

Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you have TWRP recovery on your phone.

Yep, install su and it'll root your phone, you need root before you can s-off.

Sadly I would not expect to see another one.It seems to me that a lot of people just laugh it of as a gimmick device.

If samsung makes it with a little better specs and maybe an anoled screen I cannot see why they shouldn't make a mega 2 as they had good success with this mega..but this mega is awesome already and it can only improve if a mega 2 does happen to come out. ..but only time will tell. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] uchosen:
Agreed. Look at the activity on this forum. Doesn't seem to be a lot of us.

This phone will never get the respect it deserves because of the mid-range specs. People will never know until they actually play with one :/
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 67srbell:
Exactly. Probably the first smartphone which disproves how specs on paper can be misleading and not tell the whole story about actual, discernable performance.

My Mega is just as snappy as my former S4.

Sadly, we may or may not ever see another here in the US. However, I'm sure that in a year or so, we will be talking about flexible displays anyway so...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] inurb:
This phone is a sleeper hit. I think there will be a Mega 2 next year.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] x2h:
I think there would likely be a mega 2. Samsung has to keep producing not only high end but also midrange phones to remain competitive.

I hope so, but then we also have to hope that it comes again to AT&T. I'm just afraid that AT&T may not be selling enough of them to warrant a second one in their lineup.

Again, this is just speculative paranoia, but you never know and we know how much is going to change in a year or more.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] thering1975:
Lets remember whilst we know the specs and what they me average joe doesent know the diff between snapdragon this or exynos that. 8t wont sell well compared to the others purely because its too big for the majority of users most people have called it a tablet when they seen it. So anyone walking into the shop and see this next to normal phones they will probably stray away from it. Unlike peeps like us who do believe bigger is better
