I hadn't realized the bravia engine would go away as well... I've rooted... and basically done what I really needed to do thus far to it... I'm just exploring the other options... assuming my wife wants to use it as her daily phone, I won't be messing with it much after the initial setup anyway.

i root my xperia with KINGO ROOT, simple and fast

plug your device, enable usb debugging and click root.. works fine in .2.67!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kabeesh:
So great to hear from you.. Have fun...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kabeesh:
I have tried and it actually works well..
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
Well as per recent info, it tracks many info from the phone while rooting as in IMEI number, some personal info etc. so it still being reviewed, unless its confirmed to be safe its better not to use Kingo Root.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kabeesh:
Yo.. Thanks for the info..
[Sony Xperia ZL] krutftw:
i used kingo to install CWM and use the cm.. now im using a CM with a totally different root file.. then in that case, i would have no problems with this privacy thing?

Hi,

If anyone can spare some time to look at my problem.

Basically : I have received my new O2 XDA EXEC and have tried a few times to synchronise it using

- the included 4.0 Activesync

- the download 4.1 Activesync

Problem is : when I plug the USB to the device, it is recognise and Activesync start spinning and displays "Connecting..." but would just keep connecting without moving further (as screenshot below).

I looked for issues like this on various website and here, but nothing really looks like what I am experiencing, anyone has an idea where to go from now ?

I checked

- firewall (activesync is in the list of exception)

- uninstalled activesync, reboot pc, reinstall, reboot pc.. still no luck

- install activesync on a second PC and do the same: no luck

- used a different mini USB cable, no luck so it's not the cable.

Do you think I should send my XDA back ? :( everything else seems to work (GPRS, Wifi, BT..)

Thanks a lot for your suggestion ?

PS: the device is recognised as I can ping it too from the PC.[/b]
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] galt:
Well you seem to have hit all the usual suspects. Regarding the firewall issue, in ZoneAlarm I also watched the logs, found a blocked connection attempt that seemed to be my device and set that to the trusted/allowed zone which helped back when I was having problems. The next step might be a hard reset on the Exec.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nickpope:
Try disabling your firewall and test the connection.

For some firewalls you have to do more than just allow ActiveSync.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
Try diabling the password. That cofused my activesync the first time I tried my replacement handset
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] krzychu:
Disable firewall completely, than retest if activesync will work. Helps in 99%.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I'm currently having "issues" with ActiveSync too. Every time I try to sync when there are more than about 25 changes that need updating, my JasJar decides to open an ActiveSync window on the JJ (for no apparent reason).

It only manages to show the top half of the ActiveSync window (The "Connected" section with the progress bar are missing) then it freezes, requiring me to do a soft reset.

The only way I can currently sync all details successfully is to kill all non-essential processes with a process manager, and remove all today plugins (!), then it works with absolutely no problems. Not a very elegant solution, but it works for now, and as I've tried absolutely everything else I can think of in THIS thread, it'll have to do for now...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicofars:
it works fine now ! I have disabled the firewall and also ..

uninstall Cisco VPN client, so not sure which one it was that caused the connexion problem.

Thx to all your fast responses.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dcbingbing:
I have mine Sync successfully after removing the anti-virus software. Not sure whether it works or not to install the anti-virus back on. I have followed all the instruction in Microsoft website, but with Trend Micro installed, it just couldn't Sync. That's why I removed it completely.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ruud Westerhout:
Maybe this will help You (or me :) ) further :

I can sync at home without problems, W-XP ASync 4.1, Internet through a Linksys Firewall/Router.

If I come to the office I get exactly what You have, visible, but no syncing.

I use W-XP there as well, same ASync 4.1, Internet through the Office Network.

When I disconnect the network cable, Microsoft Office will immediately notice and complain. I wait between 30-60 second and ASync will actually connect and sync. It will not sync to a Exchange Server though, as this is disconnected with the cable.

I would have come with this issue here, but probably a little later, as other problems are of higher priority to me now, but maybe this information helps here.

Ruud

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi df2jh,

thanks, interesting read. I was able to solve my issue in the meantime.

My firewall, MS is restricting the programs used by MS ASync and therefore does not allow syncing.

Solution for me :

Disabled processes wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe in the Windows Task Manager

Wrote a text-file in the directory where ASync is in !! which will be searched for by the firewall (do not recall the name of this file, but can check it out if somebody needs it.) This file has one entry to disable the firewall in concern of rapimgr.exe.

Then run rapimgr and wcescomm by hand and, WOW, WCESMgr.exe will run itself and syncing it working flawlessly.

What I did not understand until then :

1) this special file should be in the ASync directory, not in the firewall directory

2) this special file is only searched for when ASync is run (PC boot), not when the USB is connected

For me this is solved, though not everything else in my sync problems.

Hope this helps others,

Ruud

Had same problem on Kaiser and Wizard

I fixed it by going into Settings>Connections>USB to PC (in WM6.1, USB to PC is in system). Uncheck Enable Advanced Network Functionality. Fixed my active sync not connecting problems on both phones.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] njcobra10tha:
I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.

It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.

I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.

Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?

Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Raul77:
I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] smaisonville:
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TheOtherNathan:
I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tamora:
Possible solution?

I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agp423:
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.

I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agp423:
It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agp423:
Doesn't work for me.

I installed Contacts+ and made it my default messaging app. Now MMS/group message works using MightyText.

MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3

Hi

Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).

Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.

[Xperia Z1 General] bigviv:
now, i thought the z1 had some sort of toughened glass, i noticed this morning that my display has a chip in the screen

i thought it might be something stuck, so i gently ran my fingernail over it and it's as though a tiny chunk has been taken out of the glass. wasn't there before, and i haven't dropped it or knocked it against anything (to my knowledge)

now that sucks, especially as i know it's there! :mad:
[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:
whoa that's hard..

but you sure it's not the anti shatter proof sheet that got chipped?
[Xperia Z1 General] bigviv:
don't think so, running the fingernail on it, it feels like a chip in the actual glass

wasn't there when i got it, because i'm pretty precise about these things - i tried putting the screen protector on it when i got it but messed that up, so no external protector on it...
[Xperia Z1 General] Mighty_X:
Is it front side? If yes could it just be the screen protector which every device has? My protector already has countless scratches, some pretty deep. Seems to be low quality for original sony...
[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:
okay then last question...

do you still have that Sony logo infront of your phone?

if yes, then it's the anti shatter proof that you chipped.. a pretty common case if it does

so if you remove it, you will get the bare Dragontrail glass but no oleophobic coating

getting a tempered glass screen guard is still the best choice as of now
[Xperia Z1 General] bigviv:
yeah, the logo is still there, i guess it's the antishatter screen, i'm not going to remove that for now, will deal with it

will consider the tempered glass screen guard for now

i have no idea where or how it could have happened!
[Xperia Z1 General] devilkin:
Isn't there any warranty covering something like this? Sony has been saying removing the asf voids your physical / cosmetic warranty for the screen. Doesn't the fact that the asf is still on and there is no evidence of dropping the phone then cover the damage under warranty?
[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:
Haha removing the sheet will get you a badass stealth look :D
[Xperia Z1 General] takuhii:
WOAH! I don't want to freak anyone out, but this has happened to me too. Sony will fix it, but your warranty doesn't cover it :(

Is the chip a funny colour? As My screen was fine, then a chip has appeared, as if overnight, with a coloured hue to it :/

Freaking. Spooky.
[Xperia Z1 General] adrenalinh12890:
I agree. When I tried to remove the ASF, it started to chip at the corner too. At first I though it was the screen itself but, if you look at it at ~175 degree angle, you will notice the crack which is on the ASF. Then I carefully remove the ASF. Once you remove the ASF, the screen will be all clear. I then put my screen protector on that I purchased from nillkin. Of course, the Sony logo will be gone, but IMHO, the phone will look more sleeker, have less fingerprint smudges, and less glare.
[Xperia Z1 General] zegun:
Let me guess, the chip or scratch is located a bit to the side of the screen.. More likely on the place where you place your thumb the most..... Because a repeated nail friction could damage the sheet pretty fast...

It happened to my Z1 too, but applying a screen protector on it helps hiding the damage quite a bit
[Xperia Z1 General] bigviv:
i spoke with sony who asked me to send it in

so will send it to them and see what they say - me being me, i can't stand to see that little chip in the screen!!

when i get it back, i'll put a screen protector on it - now to find a screen protector which doesn't take away from the good looks of the phone!
[Xperia Z1 General] takuhii:
Let us know how you get on mate, I want to send mine into Sony, but A) I'm scared it's going to cost £60+ to fix and B) they want £10-£15 to send the phone back to me :/
[Xperia Z1 General] amm009uk:
I've got a tiny piece missing all of a sudden. I swear it's been treated with love but I think it's the ASF. Very disappointing from Sony on a premium product.

Ok,

Full story coz Im running out of options:

I rooted my phone (LT18i) while having stock ICS. Afterwards installed Xperia Ultimate HD (great ROM by the way) and uptill that point everything was ok. After that I made a HUGE mistake (i think) trying to install kernel using CWM - at this point my phone bootlooped. Was playing with it for a while and managed to make it work (dont ask how - i dont know) again getting back to base Xperia Ultimate HD. But when tried to flash kernel at this point flashtool said that my phone is not rooted and I cant get it rooted anyhow - and believe me I tried anything. Moreso flashtool is constantly saying I dont have drivers installed when I know I do (triple checked). I'm trying to get back to stock ICS by flashing it but flashtool (as mentioned above) doesnt allow it. Im running out of options here.

PLEASE HELP.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihoo1983:
Please explain where exatly please.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edek Łomiarz:
1. boot.img is a kernel, not a whole firmware.

2. If you need to flash kernel (boot.img), you need turn Flashtool on, click on Flash, choose Fastboot mode, Select kernel to Flash, choose your kernel and OK.

3. If you need to flash whole firmware, you need .ftf file.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

And if flashtool says, he don't have drivers, go to Flashtool folder in your computer, go to drivers, run Flastool-drivers application, on list choose your phone drivers, Flashmode drivers and Fastboot drivers (in end of list) and click install.
