[Sony Xperia L] w1040:
how can you say its **** when both devices mentioned dont have a single issues/problems compared to L. camera issues, memory issues, touchscreen issues and so on so on.

none of that issue exist in the galaxy device i mentioned.

the only reason you guys think xperia L is superior than any other mid range phone is because the chip set. adreno 305 etc etc. lol so what? sure it can handle gaming great but not perfect, but not all mid range smartphone users wants to play games. plus, why do people want to buy an adreno 305 chipset gaming phone that have tons and tons of issues. i dont get it.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Well I never faced those issues and a power android user always handles his phones perfectly. So stop giving useless comments just by reading few bug reports on Sony forums and xda. Also you can see that most users have solved their issues without much efforts

For games, this phone is what you want

For battery, it survives 2 days with me

For camera, not much..great outdoor,BAAAAAAAD indoor

WiFi doesn't disconnect with me

Device memory never went up by itself
[Sony Xperia L] Hicks21:
I'll try to help you a bit :)

1. There is still the memory leak problem you've mentioned. A LOT of users have complained on the xperia L forum, but sony hasn't replied even once yet. ( even after 21 pages of complaints ) :(. I hope it is resolved asap.

2. Class 10 memory Incompatibility was with the older 15.0.A.1.31 build.

After the 15.0.A.2.17 update, the bug is no longer present. I can personally assure you this as i use a 16GB class 10 sandisk memory card. :)

3. I think you are referring to the bug where when you clean cache using apps ( like clean-master), the album doesn't show anything. This problem is also solved with the 15.0.A.2.17 update.

4. Back ( primary ) camera has lost a bit too much of sharpness. But, a lot of noise is also reduced. IMO, They did a terrible mistake of advertising it as a phone with gr8 camera lens & all ( with exmor stuff & all )..It doesn't do justice with the camera quality of 8MP.. Front camera which was CRAP earlier has been showing significantly improved colours ( still average, but better than earlier one ).

Hope this helps. :)
[Sony Xperia L] sreeji0001:
thanks

well then i think i should wait till they release a new firmware update for xperia l :(
[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
Very well said. especially the camera. WHen I bought it I was amazed and satisfied but after the update the sharpness is gone

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BuzzyMind:
Hello guys,

I want to present you one app that I created little time ago, Music Widget for Walkman that can be installed on any launcher unlike the stock one.

...and unlike the stock one this is quite simple and in holo style that fits almost every launcher.

At the top-right corner it has shortcut to one other app of mine for Walkman, the Lyrics Music Extension which you can also install from the Play Store.

Screenshots:

Requirements:

Walkman music player.

Special Thanks to Akki Da Rockstar for his support and interesting recommendations.

And also for testing the app. So if you find any bug, blame it on him. xD

Play Store download link.

IF YOU LIKE IT PLEASE RATE IT, SHARE IT AND PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON! :)

Some guys requested the Walkman icon on the screenshot... Here it is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hyunsjjun:
Thanks for your work:o

But after restarting phone, message that 'Unfortunately, music widget has stopped' appears and the widget doesn't work:crying:

I hope it would be fixed:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BuzzyMind:
Please try the new version I put on Google Play yesterday. I fixed couple of bugs, including this one I hope. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hyunsjjun:
I've already installed latest version but can't see any diffrence..:crying:

I found a poor solution for this. Before restarting phone, i removed the music widget. And after restarting, i added the widget and then it worked.

If i does not remove the widget before restarting, the widget doesn't work however i re-added the widget.

I'm not a native speaker so please undertand my poor English:p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rampage2020:
that error seems to be present :( some times it doesn't show the track list I have open walkman play a song and close it for it to get updated
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m_dht:
thanks for your work, every seem work well, by the way transparency background a bit will make it more beauty.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gothraven666:
nice share bro :good:

can u also make another ver w/o the widget background n album art? :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BuzzyMind:
I'm already working on transparent background.. and I will definitely add option not to display album art ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gothraven666:
sweet xD

cant wait for it bro :highfive:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BuzzyMind:
Please try this new version of the app.. It has a configuration activity in which you can change background, buttons and change visibility of album art and Lyrics Extension shortcut.. xD
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I installed it, working great. No need to remove the album art imo, there already are widgets that work with any music player (including Walkman) but those don't show the album art, so this is what sets your widget apart. But still, it's nice to have the option. The Sony buttons make it look more authentic as well.

I have one styling issue with the Sony buttons though. When you press them, the highlight is a light grey rectangle, in the original widget it's a light grey circle that fits inside the button (it's like that in the Walkman notification anyway). I think the rectangular highlight is for the Holo buttons. Still working on that maybe?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gothraven666:
nice work bro, ty :highfive:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sirence:
Can you make a version that is styled like the real walkman widget? I'd gladly pay a dollar in the playstore for it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BuzzyMind:
An update is coming tomorrow or the day after eventually... Will try to fix that :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eddymjj:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eddymjj:
Thank you for the update. Nice work, fine !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Patacho:
YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!! Finally a widget for Walkman! I can finally leave stock launcher!

Thanks for your work!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cassius Away:
This is stellar work really well done!

There is only one thing bugging me: the time elapsed/total time numbers overlap with long album titles...

Maybe you could position them on either side of the progress bar, like the stock widget?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cassius Away:
I can now say that the widget is perfect!

You fixed all the issues i had, and made the design even better.

The only thing I can think of that could be improved, is getting the album art to display even before you hit play.

By this i mean that when the widget is started, but the music is not currently playing, it displays all the info except for the album art

which appears one you change the song. I am not sure if this is possible to be implemented though..

Anyway great work! I will be looking closely at your future projects!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmybog:
On my Nexus 4, when I'm creating a text message, how do I insert a phone number from one of my existing contacts into the text message. I could do this on all my old Nokia or Samsung phones (Non smart phones) but can't see how to do it.

Also, is it possible to send one text to more than one contact at the same time. Or at the least can I foward an existing text message to another contact? Again i could do this on my old phones but can't see how to do it on this one

It just seems that the texting functionality on this phone is really basic. Not sure if I can use an app which has more functionality?

Thx
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
For your first item, I'm not sure that I'm completely understanding. If you start typing a person's name or phone number into the To field it will search through your contacts and pull up any matches. Is that not what you're looking for?

To send a text to more than one person, click back into the To field and then start typing again to bring up another contact. You can also forward and existing message by longpressing (press and hold) on the message and tapping on Forward.

If that doesn't meet your needs, there are plenty of alternative SMS apps. GoSMS, Handcent, etc... provide some extra functionality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
Open your contacts.

Find the one you want the number for.

Long press on the tel number

choose copy to clipboard

Now in the messaging app just long press in the text box where it's inserting what you write

paste

Hey guys found out how to ROOT ASUS TF300T latest ROOT for TF300T V10.6.1.27.5 ! locked bl.

just follow the steps

Instruction:

1. Download the rooting application. (This app can root many other devices )

VRoot_1.6.0.3690

http://www.mediafire.com/download/v3...3690_Setup.exe

2. Install the app. This is a Chinese app so I will guide you. Below is a step by step screenshot attached guide.

3. Start VROOT and root now!

4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.

5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.

6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)

7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.

8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.

Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.

9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.

10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.

Optional

11. If you want to be more assured, in SuperSU app, prepare for a Reinstall in settings. (NOT Full unroot NOT Switch superuser app)

12. SuperSU will be removed and go back to play store to re-download and install.

13. Start SuperSU and SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.

ITS 100% WORKING! PERSONALLY TESTED.

Hey guys,

Sorry if this topic is out there allready but I can't seem to find it.

I have my HTC One unlocked with HTC Dev and installed a nice little rom.

Now I want to revert back to stock but I I can't seem to get it done.

I am still on S-on but the revone S-off is not working.

Even when I do it through the adb shell on windows it tells me error code 1 and when I use it through a terminal it tells me success and when I reboot en do the next step in the list it says I'm not s-off (the boatloader also still says s-on)

Then I tried relocking the boatloader and searching for the correct ruu file.

But it the phone has a german 1.29.111.11 version and I can't find it anywhere.

Currently I have miui V5 running but I do want to revert back to stock once.

Just so I know can and how.

Can you guys help me OR sent me in the correct direction ?

Thanks

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
i'm thinking about getting this phone instead of the note 3 (coming from note 2) and wondering what the deal is with root, unlocking the bootloader etc?

ta
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
congratz to 1000 post... the deal? What u wanna know?

Root, well to root on locked bootloader is to make an TA Backup where all your drm keys are stored. These are removed when unlocking the bootloader. The benefit of doing this backup is that you then can restore these keys if needed in the future. And also you can run apps and access features that requires the device to be rooted.

I noticed you are in some level of familiar with custom roms and root as I checked your previous post here at XDA running some sammy roms.

But the benefits of unlocking the bootloader? You can flash roms with ease along the features of being rooted as above.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
ah sorry. i didnt meant it in that sense. i had to unlock the bootloader on my old htc desire (samsung since then and no lock). i wondered what the deal was in getting it done?

on the samsungs i've just flashed a custom recovery and that's it. easy as pie but way back when i had to use a goldcard to get the desire unlocked and more steps in getting s-off

is it easy or tricky with the sony? if i get this phone i'd be needing to root straigt away to put my TB backups back on so wouldnt have any drm keys to backup yet :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
The TA backup does make a backup of alla the DRM keys, as the Bravia engine...and bla bla bla what other features there are.

It is easy to unlock the bootloader IF you not running Windows 8. On W8 it is a bit tricky because you have to reboot the OS in test mode disabling the driver verification in order to be able to install fastboot driver and S1 driver. Other than that, it should be done in about 30 sec if there's no issue :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
and typically i'm on win 8 (though wish i wasn't at times).

cheers for the info. wonder if it would work with win7 via VM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
well, i ordered it, and put my old note 2 for sale on mazuma :o
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] capitansid:
As a fellow Galaxy Note user here, Rooting the ZU is easy... :)

Unlocking the bootloader is another.. It is pretty much straightforward from the tutorials on this forum but you have to watch out of your TA partition..

I have gone as far as backing up my TA but I haven't unlocked my Bootloader yet.. I don't feel the need for a custom ROM yet.

Stock, Rooted .532 ROM with Xposed Framework serves most of my needs.. Plus seamless connection of the Dualshock controller which is a definite plus for me!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
cool. i've read the guide and i get that the TA partition holds DRM info but isn't thatonly for purchases etc? if it's lost what's the worst case scenario? brick or you lose access to paid for content?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I have no idea how stable it gonna be to make an operation like this? ..because you have to manually unmount and mount the choosen device in to VMware. Now I don't have VMWare Workstation installed as I recently moved to Windows 8 Enterprise. ..big mistake when doing this kind of operations. It took me about an hour to figure out how to properly disarm all this stupid verification of drivers and certificates and bla bla bla microsoft features. In these moments I love my linux mint.

The TA backup benefits from that first of all you do make a backup of your DRM keys if you would like to restore them in the future if going back to stock rom and for example sending it for service covered warranty. You don't necessarily lose your warranty but there might be times when the service center denies your request as they see that the device has been tempered with. I think I read that it does also relock your bootloader but I might need to confirm that..not entirely sure.

If you lost the DRM keys or the backup? Ehm.. yeah no more bravia engine, Track ID and the other apps provided by sony wont work. Other than that, It's not that big of a deal but It's good to have a backup just in case!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
ah, good to know then. cheers.

i suppose i could throw a wubi ubuntu install on or something i guess.
