[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Develion:
This really isn't Sony's fault. Usually OEMs will have firmwares ready for everyday use (with some bugs though), only weeks after the release of a new Android version. The time between then and the actual OTA release of the firmware to the community is spent partially on fixing these bugs,but mostly on geting the firmware certified in each country around the world. This certification procedure includes testing of the WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and everything else that has to meet a certain standard. Unfortunately, not all of these tests are standardized, meaning that a lot of certifications has to take place in each country respectably, since a lot of countries have different demands to approve the firmware. (This is the main reason for the delay between different regions, since different countries finishes these tests at different times)

When this LONG procedure is done, you might have a carrier that wants to add some software (aka bloatware) to the firmware before they also approve its release. It is not until then that the actual firmware for your region will be available for download, so as you can see, the process of releasing new firmware is quite an extensive one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GinaJ:
Hi

I have just been given a refurbished Asus EE Pad Tranformer Prime TF201. It runs on Android 4.1, and this is affecting my ability to use apps that I would like to use.

I am looking to update to4.3, but I am a novice in this and I don't understand the language used in the articles i have read so far.

Can anyone help my update my machine in plain language? Ideally a step by step guide would be good.

Thanks for getting back to me,

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] 21vm:
Hi,

I've just bought a GPad 8.3 and i'd like to transfer photos i make with my Canon 40D, directly or through a card reader on the tablet (Canon use only Compact Flash cards) : do you guys know a way to do it ?? I've searched but with no solution for now...

Thx in advance for your precious help !
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] woody1:
Get a generic Android OTG cable (very cheap from eBay). Use it to connect directly to your camera. If that doesn't work, for some reason, use the OTG cable with an adapter that will allow a Compact Flash card to plug into a USB port.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] 21vm:
ok, thank you, i'll try this :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] woody1:
If you have't used an OTG cable before, here's how it will work. When you plug in the camera or a compact flash card adapter, the files will appear under /storage/USBstorage (or USBstorage2 , 3, etc.). At that point, you can copy files to or from the connected device using any file manager app.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] 21vm:
Thanks a lot for your help, i'll try this asap.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] tr0m4tik:
Thanks for this too! Never used OTG and I'm planning to do so for the sam reasons. You saved me a search :D
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] black n white:
Do you need to be rooted to do this? I have the GPe and when I connect a flash drive with my OTG cable it doesn't read at all. Even checked in my for manager and it doesn't pop up.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] woody1:
OTG doesn't work on a GPE. You'll need an app to make it work.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] sam61n2:
Any idea which app will work with a OTG Card Reader? I have managed to get an OTG cable and USB stick to work with Total Commander USB app, but doesn't work with the card reader. Thanks

Hey awesome tutorial, I see you used my xda university tut, regarding to that I want to say something, because the layout of wordpress is kinda screwed up there are some small mistakes in the code.

You copied this:

but it actually should be this:

so the "&" is actually just "&". just saying so that same mistake is not taken over because of the wordpress layout that screws it up :p

:good: Good job on this tut
[Android Software Development] N00B_IN_N33D:
Good job, [MENTION=5130501]Dark Wraith[/MENTION]! Awesome tutorial! :good:

On a side note, in your guide you wrote the following Java code to print:

system.out.println("Hello");

However, it should be:

[B][COLOR="Red"]S[/COLOR][/B]ystem.out.println("Hello");

The 'S' in "System" must be capital for the code to properly compile and/or run, otherwise you'll be like...

Keep in mind that in Java it is--according to convention--proper to start class names with capital letters. As Java is case sensitive and the System class is defined with a capital 'S', it is mandatory that we call it with its proper name. ;)

Reference Link: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/System.html

Again, you did an awesome job on this tutorial. Keep up the good work. (Note: I liked all dah posts + rated the thread 5 stars) :D

great helpful guide indeed!!!:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

CAN YOU ALSO POST TUTORIAL FOR JAVA?...
[Android Software Development] karan5chaos:
Nice tutorial !!

Nice tutorial bro :) but are u sure if..else is a loop ??

as far as i know "if.. else" is to check if the condition satisfies or not .. it only iterates if written under a body of a loop !! :)

I might be wrong though :)

still it's a good tutorial :)

Great tutorial my friend..brilliant!!
[Android Software Development] N00B_IN_N33D:
If you're interested in self-teaching yourself Java I highly recommend checking out Derek Banas's tutorials on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE7E8B7F4856C9B19.

It may not hurt to also check out this book: http://portal.aauj.edu/e_books/teach_your_self_java_in_21_days.pdf

Lastly, if you ever need any Java project/assignment ideas I can certainly send some your way. I'm currently enrolled in an AP Computer Science class so I've got tons of practice material you could use, if you want it. :good:
[Android Software Development] premsagar_rs1:
yes!...i want them i have inboxed u my mail id:highfive:
[Android Software Development] N00B_IN_N33D:
Correct. If I wrote the following sample code (in Java):

//initialize variables
boolean isHappy = true;

while(isHappy)
{
System.out.println("N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!");
}

System.out.println("N00B_IN_N33D is not feeling happy...");

You would have the following

infinite

output:

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!
N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy![/COLOR]

However, if I put:

//initialize variables
boolean isHappy = false;

while(isHappy)
{
System.out.println("N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!");
}

System.out.println("N00B_IN_N33D is not feeling happy...");

You would have the following output:

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]N00B_IN_N33D is not feeling happy...[/COLOR]

Now, if I were to write this sample code:

//initialize variables
boolean isHappy = true;

if(isHappy)
{
System.out.println("N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy!");
}
else
{
System.out.println("N00B_IN_N33D is not feeling happy...");
}

You would get the following output:

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]N00B_IN_N33D is feeling happy![/COLOR]

As you said an if statement will check for a condition(s) that yields true once, unless it has been placed within a loop.
[Android Software Development] karan5chaos:
"if .. else" conditions is usually taught with "switch" conditions.

switch conditions are better then nested "if..else" and "else.. if" conditions as it doesn't needs to perform all the conditions check like if..else . :)

u should consider including "switch" in tutorial if u can :)
[Android Software Development] Dark Wraith:
Thanks for pointing it out...:)...Will edit this in the op...and also thanks for the tut in xda university...

Nice Catch...Thanks for pointing it out bro...you are correct..class names in Java start with Capitals and when you make an object..you need to be careful with the naming ...

Thanks for the rating and compilments...:).

Tutorial in Java would probably take loads of posts and a beginner's guide wont be enuff...Follow the links NOOB_IN_N33D posted and a personal tip is to get the concept of classes and objects clear in JAVA. Once that is done..your base in Java would be very clear

Yes..you are correct..If....else is a conditional statement...and a conditional statement can be used as a loop...

int i=0;

if( i <= 50)
{

printf("Hello");

i++;

}

would print hello 50 times....

[Moto X General] fury683:
Active Notifications only light the portion fo the screen with the clock, and the text for the notification. It does not show ongoing notifications (that I've seen, yet).

I can say that very much like the screen shot posted by [MENTION=5587184]RenSoAbrupt[/MENTION], Pandora looks the same. It fills the entire background with the album art of the song that is playing.

And desktop is full screen as well? Is Gel.Apk needed
[Moto X General] fury683:
Not sure what you mean by desktop...

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Is anyone working on breaking this problem? Hate myself for getting this phone now, everyone else is running away with custom kernels and any soft headed person who decided to go with their provider is also stuck unless their provider didn't ask for it to be locked down.

What is the actual difference between the two phones? Unlockable or not unlockable? Could one not be migrated to the other or is that not possible?

I want to stretch this phones legs and i'm unable to because of it.

Any help, input, pointers would be grateful.

Any "No your a tool for buying from your provider an sony have always done this" is not helpful.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
Unfortunately talking from experience with Sony Xperia Z and other Android phones, this has never been possible. Bootloader unlock allowed: No on Xperia Z has not been hacked after all the time that the device has been out, I would not count on a solution for Xperia Z1.

Sorry to put your hopes down, but most likely this will never be possible.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No real developers have openely said they are working on it.

A few people have tried a few things but this needs someone with real developing/hacking skills (Like the_laser).

The problem is that all the developers know to get unlockable phones, so they don't have/need to work on the bootloader issue.

Adam Outler was given an Xperia T with an bootloader that says no, and he gave up after a few months.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
You aren't missing anything mate.

Before Z1 I had Xperia S, I unlocked bootloader and when I tried every ROM on XDA..... I settled down on [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] eXistanZ. (stock based ROM for locked and unlocked bootloaders)

Believe me, we'll get many great things on Z1 you just have to be patient.

Now I bought Z1 with a bootloader locked (unlockable), I knew that from the beginning and I didn't care.

When Z1 recive 4.4 and few other devs join here, you'll see you'll have many different ROMs to choose...

Yes, it's true, you can't get custom kernel and maybe you can't OC your CPU or GPU but Z1 has quad on 2.2 Ghz and there's really no need for 2.5Ghz or 3.0Ghz.

Remember, we are using phones, without cooling system and OC will overheating hardware and that's not good...

As I said, you/we are not missing anything.

eXistanZ will, eventually, be released for Z1, just like all other great ROMs and we'll have awesome software for device...

In the next few days/weeks devs will manage to develop tools for rooting Z1 on 4.3 and that's all you need to get 99% of goodies on Z1.

Yea you're right m8, I do like the phone, it's just the first time i've not been able to use the other kernels.

What about the likes of PA and AOSP rom's, don't they need a kernel from the likes of doomlord to work?

Great if they don't, i don't stick with them for very long but it's nice to try them out from time to time.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Yeap, they need custom kernels so without unlocked bootloader you can't use them ;)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryddan:
I got one with locked boot loader from Telenor here in Sweden.

I'm thinking about calling them and complain. There is NOTHING in my contract with them that says anything about locked boot loader.

The only thing that is stated is carrier-locked to Telenor. Ok, so I can unlock that after 12 month or find another webpage that can do it for me.

I talked to Sony Sweden about it and they said the normal jobberish about they don't wan't us to change "software", Their branded software. Well after 12 month they let me unlock the phone. Why not then letting me change "software". No the phone will still be locked. I say that is to not follow the contract. They say I can unlock my phone after 12 month, then why not let me ? No, they only let me unlock the carrier-lock. So in theory the phone will still be locked to Telenor. That's whats wrong with the contract.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or might there actually be a little loop-hole that I can use to get my phone unlocked or maybe even get a replaced phone ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
No the phones simlock is nothing to do with the fact that the bootloader can't be unlocked, although it is most likely your carrier who is responsible for the bootloader not being able to be unlocked in the first place.

They are unrelated instances, as far as i know and without some serious tinkering the bootloader will remain the way it is, it seriously sucks and I hate myself for doing it now but it is what it is, the only plausible way out would be if sony were to swap the phone out for one with an unlocked bootloader, i'm sure it is our consumer right to do what we want with our property, especially seeing as Sony has an official page on how to unlock the bootloader officially.

I find this approach to their software preposterous and well you've already seen me have a rant, i'm not a happy bunny.

My guess is that if your carrier replaces the phone then you will get another locked BL, but if for some reason you can get Sony to replace it then you may get one with an unlockable BL, that is the only way around it so far as I can see.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryddan:
I called Telenor and talked to them. They put me through to the support. They coulndät do anything they said. I called Telenor again and got connected to what they called their Sony Xperia support. Got to talk with a nice guy who told me that. Yes it is possible to get by this locked boot loader, but I had to go through Telenor. However, he told me NOT to call them, but to go to an actual store and talk to them. So acording to him, Telenor should be able to solve this issue. I'm still not convinced. But I guess if I can get Telenor to accept fault on their part, maybe they can get Sony to fix it ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I would take that advice with a pinch of salt, it sounds a little too good to be true, i hope i'm wrong there but my guess is that they won't be able to do anything, I know all the people in the EE store by ours and all of them haven't got a clue what day it is, if i ask about a bootloader they'll probably spaz out.

But hey if it works for you then that's superb.

You find everything (smartflash, drivers, stock roms) here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B82zQdUvU4pJeW5rU1JzQVcwYUE&usp=sharing

Start smartflash.

Select ROM copy D/L tab.

For CP bin select the smaller file which ends in .fls.

For Ap bin select the larger file which ends in .bin.

Turn off the phone.

Press and hold the volume down when you connect the usb cable to your phone which is already connected to your pc.

Install drivers if didn't do it before.

Press start in smartflash.

I also had the problems you describe with the battery (slow charging and draining very fast). The problem was that I was using CM10.1 with the Old Bootloader. When I updated to the New Bootloader and flashed "tonyp - T-Build 05" (CM10.1), it started charging normally and battery usage is very very good. Try it and you won't regret.

You can also flash TheROM (CM10.2) because it is very good. The only problem is the bluetooth calling that isn't working (sending files and listening to music works). This is the only reason I don't use the TheROM (CM10.2)...

So if i open a .doc with POLARIS (feel free to make better recommendation) in reading mode it lets me to make diffrent handwriting over text(creating review comments over documents), when i exit it says document has been modified - i select SAVE, but if i open again the file all my notes are gone.

Can you please give me some advice or recommend another replacement ?
