GravityBox and Xblast

I'm using GrabityBox and Xblast, too. The reason is because Gravitybox is a good app, but some customizations are impossible to do, but Xblast can do, for example transparent notification bar with background, customize text colour, icons in notification bar, and the look is perfect. But yo need to be sure about how options you active, because is possible that GrabityBox and Xblast interfere with each other and malfunctions or not make any changes.Sorry my bad english. It's very difficult to customize to your liking the phone, but when you have it, no problem....some fail can be appear, but it isn't important for anything.

Sorry again for my bad english, I'm gonna improve for best experience. Bye.

My wife's Moto G keeps auto-generating bug reports. I've looked through the files, but cannot figure out what is causing this to happen. Here is the most recent bugreport.

Any ideas? She is running stock, unrooted 4.4.2 on her XT1034.

Was a proud new I747 I had bought on line for practically free saw it was firmware ucdmg2 so I used Causal worked like a charm so I got called in to work before I finished flashing CWM recovery and changing ROM. Got home to my wife UPDATING MY I747 I stopped it before it completed but still updated to ucuemjb 4.3. I had talked about updating after root so she thought she was helping me out but Now it sometimes runs in safe mode and becomes laggy or unresponsive only fix is to reboot. Any pros out there got some advice for this Noob in distress going back to my i777 for now... What is safe mode?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Get a recovery and flash the stock ROM again. Wipe your data too.

Seems AT&T wins round 1. They want us to have locked bootloaders & Knox Warranty bit flags & your GS3 caught the push.

Sad, since you clearly didn't want that.

You say Noob, but you did try to dodge this bullet. Thank you for the Casual tip.

Advice: Make sure you know about the new

Limitations (brick potential) of the locked bootloader.

Knox warranty implications

OTA 4.3 Bricking potential

Custom & sideflashing expectations

Incompatability of Triangle Away

Moreover my USSD code *#2263# doesn't work either. Ussd code *#06# works which shows me the IMEI number.

I am not sure what else to do, or am I doing somethng wrong. After installing those modems whenever I goto Mobile networks it gives error" Error showing networks or something like that"

Please help me to give me right direction to install this AWS modem so I can use my phone on Wind.

Thanks and Merry XMas to all.

Guys, i think i have a problem with my Qtek 8310.

Whenever i try to charge it with the charger, it will show the amber light indicating its charging from some time and after that it will just shutoff itself and start to blink in red light.

i tried to charge the qtek battery with my other smartphone (SPV C500) its charging properly. I tried to charging it with other charger also, unfortunately no luck.

i started encountering this problem only yesterday onwards.

nowadays, i am charging it through my computer USB and it charges without any problem. Anybody had this problem or heard of a problem like this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Should it start charging it when I plug it in in the PC USB port?

And how much time does it need to be fully charged when charging from PC over USB cable?

Hi

I want stock Android 4.0.4 touch wize launcher and widgets For Stock 4.1.2.

my rom is stock odexed xwms1.

anyone can help me?
[Sony Xperia ZR] silvscorp:
Thanks for the great review!!

Just want to add my view on the camera after a quick test. Regarding the resolution change, it is still available, but only under the "Manual" mode and any change only applies to the Manual mode too. IMO I really don't like the new updated camera, the Superior auto mode just seems less superior to me.

By default, it uses 9M (16:9) resolution. For my usage, I always save images to external SD card, With resolution set at 9M, there is little over half second delay (even the screen freezes up) before you can take the next shot. If change to 5M in manual mode, there is virtually no delay at all. I tried to switch saving to internal memory and it's not any better either. Compare to the previous 2.67 rom, even during saving picture taken at 9M resolution, the screen does not freeze up and you can still take the next shot right away.

For all the test shots I took, I find Manual mode works better in most cases compared to Auto. One example is when I try focus on a roof through a window, the manual mode (without any scene selection, no HDR) will take a perfectly focused picture (little under exposed due to the lighting). The Superior Auto however, extremely difficult to get a good focus the roof, instead it will focus on the window screen most of the time. I tried to touch different spot and result is more or less the same.

Above are just what I found based on my setting and maybe works better for others. I sure do hope they can come up with a patch to fix some of the small bugs. Oh forgot to mention, when launch the camera using the shutter button, it plays a start up sound just like how typical Sony camera does when turn on the power. I can't find a setting to turn it off.

[Sony Xperia ZR] Mahesh124:
What problem was faced by you?
[Sony Xperia ZR] alan573819:
I've only had my ZR for a week, but I also see the BT problem.

The ZR pairs & connects to my car's hands-free set, but on incoming calls the phone behaves as if it is not connected - the phone rings itself and no audio come through the BT set.

It's definitely connected because if you hit the "Answer call" button on the BT set, it starts the voice-dialing system (which is what would happen if you were not trying to answer a call).

There's several threads on the Sony forums about this,

Sorry - I'm not allowed to paste a link as I don't have enough posts here yet.

Thanks bro for your review , i confirm everything you said about the camera ,i tested it myself and yeah you're right

OP updated :)

Confirmed ,Added to OP

Thanks bro :)

Hmm.. i want you to test it again while your phone is locked ,and rings

cuz i just make a "Factory Reset" ,and it still exits

Actually guys i'm a Heavy usage user (Wifi most of the time ,chatting ,browsing ,listening to music , screen on for a long time in the day) , although it completes a day with me (for me this is much better than my previous devices) ,so if any user can post some screenshots about the battery usage for the 4.3 update ,will be much appreciated :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] silvscorp:
Just tried couple of times with phone screen off and the icon still shows up normal. I still don't see that black bar at the bottom like the screen shot you posted.

I did the update via PC companion and it's a US customized version not sure if this is any different. Also, I don't have any gesture or pin lock for the phone. just simple swipe up and down unlock. You can try remove those lock as there might be a glitch caused by those interface?

Actually i did the same and also i'm not using any lock-screen mode ,only the swipe and the problem isn't permanent ,it sometimes show up and sometimes not :/ ,,maybe i'll re-install the 4.3 software via Sony PC Companion

Yes guys i believe that there is a problem with the server for 4.3 ,Cuz i used "Sony Select" app directly after the update and i've downloaded 2 camera modes (check Screenshots) and also browse some Xperia themes through it ,,and now it's not working..

so it's just matter of time i'm sure :)

An observation with the C5503 running at 4.3, every time I reboot my phone it will have a notification warning "please close the external connector covers to secure waterproofness" despite the USB cover is closed, is this normal? also unable to move apps to SDCard even w/ clean master, guess we are totally stuck at approx 4 GB internal memory?

Foldermount is also working but needs to update busybox for full functionality, got a random reboot once, and thumbnail for gallery at DCIM folder still consumes a lot of memory

I don't got any warning when the phone boots ,also the "Move to SD Card" functionality was already missing since we bought the device cuz it came with JB 4.1.2 ,,while this feature was there till ICS 4.0

Hey Bro My Battery Life Is Poor Mostly I Got Only 2hr 30min Of On Screen Time With 30 mins Of Calling Pls Help Its Even Worse In 4.2
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
I'd suggest you to calibrate your battery..

just leave your battery until it die and the phone turns off by itself.. then leave it on the charger for 3 hours to be sure that it is fully charged ,after that plug it off from the charger and use it normally ,and don't put it in the charger except it is battery low ( lower than 10 % or something)

if this method doesn't improve the battery life ,so the problem will be from the battery itself ,and you should look for a new battery replacement
[Sony Xperia ZR] yaduvanshi:
Thnx Bro And Should It Always Charge Battery When Its Lower Then 10% And Can I Charge It Overnight
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Yes it's better to always charge your battery when it's lower than 10% ,but don't let it die much times (it'll affect the battery life in the future) ,and also don't plug the device off from the charger except it completely fully charged (100%) ,and if you plug it off one time don't put it on the charger again till it gets battery low.

Source : my experience from the previous device
[Sony Xperia ZR] yaduvanshi:
i always charge it when its below 20% and charge it till 100% or atleast 90 and also can i charge the phone overnight?
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
