vijay: I just got dressed in the light of my new torch :D but discovered that the hardware button (backlight in my case) didn't work until I'd entered my password. Is this something over which you have control? I suspect not, but just wondered...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
SiliconS: I doubt it. I'm fairly sure the password screen buggers hardware key usage. Not much I can do about that right now I guess... hmm, maybe there is, but it will have to link in with another project I'm thinking about, some time off. If and when, I'll try to remember to think about it.

The torch is probably not the most flattering light for getting dressed in. I recommend vaseline and/or a soft focus lens.

I updated VJCandela (FatBoy) this weekend, just to center the dialog and have a bit neater screen dragging.

Hey I am late on this thread! I'll give it a whirl now and you can expect the donation too. Thanks very much!!! :D :D

Vijay,

I assigned VJCandelaLite to one of my Windows Start Menu application. I know that I can deactivate VJCandelaLite with a push of any button on my keyboard. My question is: Is there a limit to the time it shines after activating VJ CandelaLite?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
There isn't a limit built in by me... I don't know if the hardware has a built in timeout, but I wouldn't recommend leaving it burning for too long I suppose. But it's just a LED, so it'll probably last longer then the phone will.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] arielc:
the thing i had with the light changing colours is with the xda exec. ive tried reducing the tie till the screen goes off and the change in light colour is directly related to it. i hope someon can figure out to use this for the advantage of alll us universal owners.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
So what exactly is happening with the light, from the point you start the flash? What colour, where from, what time etc? Interesting possiblilities..

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AgentJ:
My LED is dead...

Hi !

I´m sorry, but i think, the Candela-App kill my LED !

First, i put it out my jacket and see, that the light turn on without me.

It was a too long "led on" period, and during time its gone darker and darker. :?

Now, possible, the LED light on again during last night without my knowledge

and now it is burned black and glimmering a little bit, but it looks like an heavy damage. :cry:

Hmmm...

Change again, got a new Universal ;-)

Also: A really good usefull app, but be careful with the app, use it only with the full app,- not with the light version, it is possible that the hardware-button "lighton"-function turn on the LED for a too longer time.

Use it only for short times.

Greetings,

Jay
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
AgentJ - I say the same thing on my website. It's a led, so it shouldn't "burn" out like a bulb, but it's likely to cause damage to your battery and obviously the led, and perhaps other stuff.

AgentJ's words are caution to all...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AgentJ:
Yeah, but its cool. :shock:

I wait a little bit till after the CEBIT.

After that showroom its time enough to change the brick.

Perhaps i got a new VPA4 with new ROM & Handy TV works on it

[Themer General Discussion] boJob:
Hello

I recently recieved my themer beta code.

But I have been unable to use it since themer does not seem to be available for my phone (the LG optimus 2x P990.)

I am using the Jelly Cream rom with kowalski kernel.

I have tried installing themer using an apk but then I get a parsing error.
[Themer General Discussion] lopezk38:
I think your ROM is based off of 4.1 right? (That ROM thread didn't really say anything about what version of Jelly Bean it was based off of). A parsing error can be caused by attempting to install an app made for a newer android version. Not sure about this, but there might be different versions of the themer app for the different jelly bean versions, and you might have one for 4.3 or 4.2 which won't work on 4.1. I don't have an android device with 4.1 (Only 4.0 and 4.3), so I can't really help you there but maybe someone else can.
[Themer General Discussion] boJob:
The rom like you said is based on 4.1.

Any Canadian's find unlocked Z1 stock at their local Sony Store this weekend?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clenh:
All Sony Store in GTA said they are BO & no ETA. The Sony Store website says they have it in-stock but really it BO also.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksoze:
I had pre-ordered two Z1's last week, both stores just called me today - one after the other >_<

If anybody is interested, I will have a black and white one in hand.

Just a word of warning - it states on the box that only the phone, USB and charger are included. It looks like the warning from Sony salespeople that no headphones are included is correct.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
A bit OT, but when you anyone gets their hands on an unlocked Z1, can you extract the firmware? I'd love to flash it over my Rogers Z1.

Btw, the unit I got from Rogers (Wireless Wave) had headphones included.

I want to trade my C6093 for a C6906 to get LTE on AT&T in the US soo bad...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorldIRC:
Silly question -- C6906, correct?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksoze:
That is correct. C6906 Unlocked. No headphones and no extra screen protector like I've seen on YouTube unboxings. So not only do I have the privelege of paying more for the phone, but I get less for it. Real classy Sony.

How do you go about extracting the Firmware? This will be my first Sony phone - I have been using HTC and Samsung phones prior. And how do you check if your bootloader is unlockable without actually unlocking it?

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

Ok - looks like I have 2 PMs asking about the Z1s - yes they are unlocked as I had pre-ordered that version last week.

I have not picked up the phones yet, but the stores have called me telling me that they are available and waiting for me.

Now I don't really have any particular aversion to shipping to the US - I presume you all want this model for the AT&T frequencies - but are you all certain that the C6903 won't work in your area? I have seen threads alluding to imported Z1s with working LTE on AT&T ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2476868 )

The reason why I hesitate to agree to shipping the phones out is due to the extra costs + custom fees? I will be charged tax on my purchase of the phone, so you are already looking at $791 CAD before any shipping costs. [Ontario has 13% sales tax]

Sony stores in Canada are in short supply of the 6906. Other option would be to buy one from Bell, Rogers or Telus and unlock it. Remember that the Carriers are boot loader locked and cannot be unlocked.

All Canadian (for VANCOUVER at least) Xperia Z1 "06" has a bootloader LOCKED.Status says no for bootloader, few of my friends got it through carriers and one got it through sony store and all says the same.

If bootloader matters that much to you then dont get it through any carriers or even the sony stores.

If youre living in Vancouver and you want a "03" Z1 with LTE, you can head over to Lansdowne, called "Mobile DNA." Bought all my phones from them, and they are seling it for $701 CAD before tax. if you pay cash then you dont have to pay the tax.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuicyBrah:
I put in an order for the white Z1 at the Eaton's Centre last week. I called them today and they said they still have no ETA.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purehazard:
When I was at the Sony store looking for one, they said they had a waiting list and that Sony completely underestimated the demand for unlocked ones. I may just grab a Rogers one and be done with it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuicyBrah:
But then you have to wait for rogers to push your OTA updates, that's the only reason I ordered the unlocked one.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
Not really... If we can get someone to dump the stock firmware, we can flash that. Though I think bootloader will remain locked.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorldIRC:
For now...

If paying full retail, one may as well wait for the unlocked version. Unless one is getting subsidized pricing, don't let "the availability of hardware" trick you into paying full price for a locked down, branded unit.

Agreed. I got mine subsidized, so no gripes here.

No worries man. Mega froze on me a couple of time too when I was uploading the Rogers one. I'm trying my luck again with the Generic. S far it froze once. :silly:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funk2641:
It was my mistake - I had an older version of WinRar. It works now.

Also, by flashing this, we can still receive OTA's, correct?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksoze:
Ah my bad. This may be my fault - I used WinRAR 5 to compress the file, and I may have chosen the RAR5 option.

If anybody is having issues or is on Linux/Mac - its probably best to wait for the new link from Mega rather than grabbing my files.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxboy:
Yes, but the OTA would be generic CA, not branded.

If you flash back branded ftf, then OTA will be be branded by carrier again (which is much slower to release).

If anyone in the Toronto area is looking to grab the unlocked / unbranded / unlocked bootloader unit, let me know. I purchased one a couple days ago but the device isn't for me.

All accessories are still sealed in the original packaging.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxboy:
Flashtool is almost completely safe, it won't process at all if something is wrong.

Most people got error due to ADB driver,

I recommend

1. Install Sony update service (SUS) , then plug your phone via usb, it will install the drive you needed. Then exit SUS.

2. Remember, you will you flash mode, not fastboot.

3. Choose firmware and leave all those option as is. (which means wipe everything and exclude nothing).

4. After flash, I normally reset and erase everything one more time through setting.

Can't we do the same thing they're doing in the [HOW TO] Update to 257 and preserve root?

Maybe ksoze can upload the generic 534, use kingo to root, then do an OTA to get 257. Root should be maintained this way, no? And this will be 6906 specific.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
Unfortunately, the way the firmware is gotten requires us to trigger a repair or update on the sony pc software. Since ksoze is already on the latest firmware, he can't get us the older generic one.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andd64:
Oh so you mean 257 wasn't available OTA?

If it was, then can't he just rollback to the generic 534, and provide that ftf?

I've returned my z1 - at the time the ftf was generated from the download from pc companion. i was still on 534 even after uploading the 257 firmware - one of the steps was to remove the cable before starting the download. i returned the phone because of overheating issues. i may pick up a white one soon though. i will make an attempt of dumping the older firmware when i get the chance.
