I have an MDA compact (Magician), and there I can simply mark the contacts I want to copy to the SIM in my list of contacts, then tap-n-hold and select "Save to SIM".

Yes. Make sure that you regularily do backups using Active Sync. Then, next time a hard reset happens, connect your PocketPC to the PC and choose Guest Partnership. Now, just go to Extras - Save/Restore in Active Sync, and restore a backup. After the restore completed, disconnect the PocketPC, soft-reset it, then re-connect. It will now simply use your old partnership.

I do not know of any way to do that. Maybe someone else does - if yes, I would also be very interested!

Cheers

First, yes, you can have 2 separate contact lists in Outlook. Just create new folder "that will contain contacts" or something to that effect.

Next, download the MS add-on that will let you sync 2 lists. Maybe part of the powertoys or something like that. Definitely out there. Seen it.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
The Bravia engine for Mobile, was Sony’s popular technology for enhancing image and video qualities on a mobile device. It has since been replaced with x-Reality for Mobile. (which is rubbish)

I've found the lines of code associated with Bravia1 and Bravia2 for mobile, and [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] has ported some settings from the x-reality engine off the Z1 for other xperia devices. So I've used his settings and think it should also work on the Ultra.

** I am now without a device as my Ultra has been sent back for a warranty issue, so I didn't get to test this. If you want to test this thats great, but make a backup before you do **

So... there are three options here...

You can have the engines disabled, Bravia2 enabled, or x-Reality v1.1 enabled.

- Bravia2 has the most saturation,

- x-Reality v1.1 should have slightly more saturation than stock and the image sharpening has been disabled so should look good...

​

Requirements

ROM – Stock Sony ROM needed (possibly other Sony ROM's)

Root Access

Working recovery

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bravia2​

If you like the look of the Bravia2 engine, then flash this. No sharpening, just image saturation.

Download the Sony Bravia Engine 2

Method:

-Download the zip file from above link

-Store it on your SD card / internal memory of phone

-Reboot into recovery

-Install “Bravia2.zip” from SD card

-Reboot device

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

x - Reality V1.1​

If you would rather keep 'x-Reality', but still not fond of the image sharpening, then this is the mod for you.

This is the updated Mobile Bravia Engine2 along with a few things from x-Reality.

Download the Sony x-Reality v1.1 engine

Method:

-Download the zip file from above link

-Store it on your SD card / internal memory of phone

-Reboot into recovery

-Install “Bravia2.zip” from SD card

-Edit your build.prop and find the following lines of code:

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

and change it to this:

ro.service.swiqi2.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi2.enable=1

ro.service.swiqi3.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi3.enable=1

-Reboot!

-Done

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I wouldn't be able to see it here, as the engine is in the screen of your device, and not on the actual image or screen shot..

You really not noticing any difference?? See what others say as I'll have to wait until my unit gets back... possibly as long as two weeks! :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] trellva25:
hey hamdogg could you post this in the main z ultra section or the q&a section so it could have more views and more people try it out?

Has any body tried this? Any confirmation that it works does it works?

does it replace x-reality or after install we will have option for both?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
It should replace it. although it may also add it depending on what you've done to your build.prop

Can't put it in Q&A section, as it would be closed and moved to this section by a moderator.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Curious to try this :) but have a few questions first :)

Under requirements it says "Sony Stock Rom needed (possibly other sony roms)" - I'm on the new 257 firmware and I'm deodexed - does that rule me out? (yes, I have recovery and root)

Also, can I flash bravia2 then flash x-reality afterwards if I wanted to compare, or would I have to undo the bravia2 install first - which raises my next question - how to uninstall and return to stock if neither new engine impresses (reflash rom?)

Thanks mate :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
As long as you have a Sony base it should work. (Stock 257 will work, deodexed... should be fine) You could have them both side by side, and they will appear in the display settings, however I'm not 100% sure if they wouldn't interfere with each other and may even look the same.

Make a CWM backup and then restore if you don't like it, or something weird happens. I was testing when I had to send my unit back for reps.

yup very much so.

I also tried reflashing the firmware to "fix" it. The tried Bravia 2 again with the same result.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I've read that netflix will only work with a locked bootloader. Despite the code here, i doubt that it will enable netflix as there must to be a DRM key check with the app.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
Netflix works well even on unlocked bootloader. The latest firmware does not require x reality to be on for Netflix to work unlike the previous versions.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deepu4puppy:
how could you not see any difference..there is a clear differenceof saturation ..just compare the blue of the buckets in both pictures and also the red on the thing above it..the one with bravia on is much more saturated and the overall picture looks much more punchy amd sharp..u cant find it if u look at it as awhole just compare the things in both pictures and u can find lot of difference which to me is good enough to enable it..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^

Isn't what we can "see" in the above two pics governed by what engine we are running? - and therefore pointing out the saturation differences is just describing what is displayed on your screen and not necessarily mine? ;) #justsaying...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Crossvxm:
I tried this on the Nexus 7 Grouper and it was almost perfect. You can notice very tiny lag when looking at the reflective water, so I expect that any other device out there such as the Galaxy S4 and Note 2 can run it no problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
It was unplayable laggy on my Grouper, might have been the level I was on. The N7 ROMs based on CM are a mess and don't allow custom kernels without what I consider major problems. Not sure what's going on there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Crossvxm:
Yup you were right depends on the level. First level plays pretty stable. Indoor levels are a disaster. The game is pretty damn optimized if it stays as stable as it does. It is playable on mine, just unpleasant to play, not a dramatic lag. I'm pretty pissed i waited all summer for this game, never released then, and now that it is it requires you to be connected to some sort of internet all the time to play. Groupers depend on wifi, i live in NYC where the best time to play is while on the buses. Buses don't have wifi?!?! How am I to play lol. And my Nexus 7 is mint but the wifi is pretty crappy compared to my girls which has some wear, so here at home even with a good connection i encounter issues playing and the loading also depends on internet believe it or not.

As for roms for the Nexus 7, go with SmoothRom 5.2. Its AOKP based instead of CM. If you've done your homework, AOKP is claimed to be glitchy, but that really doesnt apply to the Nexus 7. And SmoothRom is 99% stable, no crashes, no "Unfortunately BlaBlaBla has stopped working," no fluttering graphical glitches. The 1% instability goes to the fact that at times the stock AOSP browser's Back/Forward/Refresh buttons dissapear. Its stable for daily use. I have it installed on mine and my girls. Only con is that its still stuck on 4.2.2 but the preformance IMO exceeds 4.3 with the tweaks it has.

Kernel-wise, I use M-Kernel to reach the crazy 1.6GHz although I never really clock it that high except when testing preformance differences (it can reach 1.7GHz, the secret is it must be on a single core as NVIDIA points out on their Tegra 3). Franco Kernel gives nice battery life, but theres occasional slowdowns on the entire rom and freezes, at times complete system crashes (not sure if thats only with this rom, i know the latest updates to that kernel suddenly brought that).

So if your looking for a stable, fast, reaponsive rom for the Grouper, think SmoothRom. Kernel is up to you.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saikiran91:
On 21-Oct-2013 Around 10:00 PM my Nexus 4 fell into water bucket with in 2-3 second it turned off automatically in water. i took my phone from the water and left it dry for a while. since i had no screw-drivers, i put my phone into rice box over night.

On 22-Oct-2013 11:00 AM I took my phone out of rice box and brought new screw-drivers disassembled Nexus 4 , and i found the water still laying near the volume button on to the board . Then i wiped the water and rubbed the board with brush and Isopropyl alcohol (IP Water) after drying. I Reassembled hoping that it would turn on. But it refused to turn On . I tried all kind of key combinations but nothing worked. So i connected to the wall charger, A Stead Red light and nothing else no response . So disassembled the phone again and submerged the mother board and LCD case into the rice .

On 23-Oct-2013 Morning i reassembled it, but no use same result a constant red light light when connected to the charger. I disassembled it and checked the battery with multimeter and it was 3.75V . so i connected the battery terminals with 5V 1amp charger for 20 min . now the battery was reading 4.10V with multimeter. then i reassembled but dose not work, same Stead Red light.

Then i disassembled it again and submerged the mother board in Isopropyl alcohol (IP Water) for 30Min, Cleaned and left it to dry then reassembled, again no use same result Stead Red light. When i connect the charger for more then 1 hour the phone gets heated up near the rear camera.

Noob question here - how do you measure the battery voltage since there is a strip attached to the Nexus 4 battery and hence very difficult to measure the voltage using a multimeter I presume...Cutting a long story short, I had given my Nexus 4 bought here in UK to my Mom in India which stopped working last year and always shows a steady red light. So I got the phone back here in UK now and have disassembled and removed the battery. But I was n't able to measure the battery voltage (before I go ahead and buy a new replacement battery.)

Any pointers on measuring the battery voltage would be much appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywheelie:
I have a Samsung S II and no matter what I do I can't get it to read the sdcard. I've tried several sdcards but still the same result, it won't recognize it.

The only thing I can think of (apart from a faulty sdcard slot) is that I don't have a sim card in the phone.

Does the S II need a sim card inserted in order for the sdcard to work?

If not, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get the sdcard to work?

BTW the phone is totally stock and it's Australian, unlocked but originally with Optus.

One strange thing is that everything in the back of the phone seems upside down. The battery contacts are on the left not the right, the sdcard goes in upside down and on the right not the right way up and on the left. The sdcard slot is directly underneath the sim card.

I hope so someone can help.

Where did you get the phone - reason I ask is your comment about battery contacts/position of sim slot/etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywheelie:
Thanks I removed the IMEI.

I bought it from a samsung reseller. I was told the reason the contacts and sim card are like they are is because it was originally made for use with the Optus network
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Really ? Interesting. Reason I ask is we've seen our share of knock-offs on here over the past 2+ yrs, and they tend to have differences like the ones you've mentioned. Or they can sometimes be other SGS2 variants even though they're branded as I9100's.

Re: the SD problem, if it were me, try the obvious first - try it with a sim. After that, I'd probably do a clean install of stock, even though your phone already is running stock/hasn't been 'messed with', or even try a factory reset first.

Obviously with something like this you're rather limited with what you can do (you're stuck with things you can try on the firmware side), if that doesn't fix things, send it back to the seller/Samsung for warranty service if your warranty is still good, otherwise take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywheelie:
I've already tried the factory reset but made no difference. I think the problem is a hardware fault because I got my son to take a look at it and he couldn't get the sdcard to stay in the slot, it just kept springing out. Putting the sim cards in does keep the sdcard in the slot but it still doesn't get recognized by the phone.

I contacted the reseller and it looks like I'll be sending it back to be replaced under warranty.

Thanks for all the help.
