Making this into an xposed module like http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-minminlock-v1-0-applock-t2762688/post52913925 to save battery would make this app perfect. The UI and features are amazing, the battery drain this app currently causes is the only downfall I see.
[Android Apps and Games] mariom:
Great app - and a feature suggestion

This is a really nice applocker. I had been using Applock from the Play store but this one trumps it on many levels. I use it to protect the kids on their phones from installing, changing settings etc. I'm sure someone else has asked if a timed locking option was possible eg unlock at 8am, lock at 9am, unlock 4pm, lock at 6pm. Take it to the next level and allow X minutes usage every day eg 120 mins for YouTube app (or all locked apps), no matter what time of day.

I would like to also suggest the option of a one-time pin which could be setup in the settings, saved and the pin only works once. That way if a user wants to install something and you're not around, you can issue the one-time pin 'just this once'. It's not foolproof but it could be useful in situations where you're not physically there at the phone.

Best of luck with this wonderful app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] greyhulk:
I buy a lot of devices and I almost always find something I don't like about one and move on. I did all of my research and watched every video available and honestly thought I was prepared for the size of this thing. I have a Lumia 1520 and briefly had a Mega, so I'm no stranger to larger phones.

Size - When I first opened the box and saw how gigantic it was in person, I thought "I have made a terrible mistake". However, after taking it out of the box and using it for a few days, I couldn't be more wrong. I'm not sure if it's the thinness or the weight, but it just doesn't feel as cumbersome as I expected. I really enjoy the screen real estate and it actually feels nice in the hand, more so because the sides are squared off and not rounded. The Lumia 1520 never felt right in my hand.

Screen- I know it's probably just me, but the screen looks a little washed out. It gives me much the same impression that the Nexus 5 did before I sent it back. When I use it on its own for a while, it looks nice, and I'm sure it's color accurate, but there are times when it just doesn't look good to me. I think it's the AMOLED effect, coming from oversaturated screens like the Note 3, Moto X, and LG G2, but I guess I'm a sucker for saturation. I also find the brightness to be a little on the low side. Much like the LG G2, I feel like I have to have it at around 80% for it to look right to me. On a better note, I was expecting the shatterproof film to bother me, but it doesn't.

Camera - I was prepared for the disappointment that is the camera on this device. Just about every review panned it. I love the camera features, but the image quality does leave something to be desired, even in daylight. I have tried all kinds of manual settings and lighting conditions. It's still a passable camera, but I can't help but feel that I'm missing out on better photos when I use it. It's probably my one biggest gripe with this phone. I found a flash diode you can install in the headphone jack for low light shots, but since photos aren't that much better in daylight, I doubt it would make much difference. I wish they had at least included the 13mp camera from the Xperia Z.

Overall, despite the negatives (for me) listed above, I really like this device overall. I like it way more than I thought I would. I'm still fighting battery life a little and trying to figure out how to use Stamina mode to best benefit, but I don't regret my purchase at all. I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping it and my next project is to find a nice clear case that shows off the beautiful purple back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Congrats and welcome!

Regarding the battery, it'll get better after a couple of cycles (typically around a week). Stamina helps a fair bit with the standby time, so be sure to not whitelist everything, or else there won't be any reason to use it. I'm on the GPe ROM now (Google Play Edition), but when I run the stock ROM, I only whitelist important stuff like Gmail, Pushbullet etc. You may want to whitelist your IM app of choice too, but keep in mind that they all use a lot of battery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] greyhulk:
Thanks! Yeah, I only whitelisted a few (Gmail, Telegram, etc), but it still seems to be draining a bit much on standby. Exchange services seems to be partly to blame. I have 2 exchange accounts set up on push and I'm seeing around 8% drain from Exchange Services. While not much, it typically doesn't show up on the battery stats of any of my other phones, so I'm not sure if it's a bug or what.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hmm, that might be something.. or not. It's a little early to tell. You should get fairly good battery life though, so keep an eye on it. You should get between 5 and 8 hours of screen time depending on usage, but your battery is brand new, so it'll get better in a few days.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Usually my target time is 2.5-3 hours of screen time when battery reaches 50%. That is without gaming.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] greyhulk:
I think the office I work in is what kills my battery. Seems to be consistent throughout most of my devices. Might be a reception issue, even though I'm usually on Wifi. I also removed my Exchange accounts and now battery life seems to be better. I added one back to day and Exchange Services has yet to show back up in my battery stats.

I'm still really impressed with this device. I still really want a Z2, but this thing kicks way more ass than I thought it would and I'm really digging the size more than I expected.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You may want to try and kick it into 2G mode while you're at work? You're on WiFi at work, so you don't need 4G speeds, and 2G is basically everywhere - while 4G is not, so you'll probably get great reception. I don't know where you are located though, but i'm guessing some place within the US?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] greyhulk:
I'm in Texas. I actually get great reception here, but the building I work in seems to block the signal pretty bad. Almost every phone I have used here seems to struggle with a signal (slow download speed) inside the office. I was kind of hoping that the Stamina mode would help with that, since it doesn't allow the data connection when the screen is off.

Is there an easy way to bump it down to HSPA+, or is it a code in the phone menu?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Go to Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks and see if there are any better options in there. Or I guess you'll have to quit your job. It's the only logic thing to do.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Imdking:
Hahahaha! Option B all the way! :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] oldblue910:
I just got my Z Ultra on Friday. I bought the Google Play Edition from the Play Store and I'm absolutely blown away by this phone after using it for the last few days. The screen is gorgeous, stock Android screams on that hardware, and it's just HUGE. I've always liked big phones, plus I have big hands, so the size doesn't bother me at all. So far, my biggest complaint is that the headphone jack is on the side. Kinda makes it annoying when I'm out on a walk and have the phone in my pocket. Minor complaint, though. I also don't like the fact that I had to use a toothpick to get the SIM card tray out when I took it out of the box.

I'm not sure how fast the retail variants are with Sony's Timescape UI, but man, I've never seen stock Android run so fast in my life. This phone was worth every penny. I do believe this will be the one that finally gets me away from my Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 that I've been using as a daily driver for the last ~6 months. So far, so good. I know that Sony phones are wildly popular in Europe, Australia and Japan, but they have almost no presence in the US market. Because of that, this is my first introduction to Sony's mobile products, and it's left me with a very good first impression. The Z Ultra certainly isn't for everyone, but I'd recommend this thing to anyone who loves big phones.

Hey Guy/Gals,

I'm very new to this so bare with me.

I have an LG Optimus E971 from Rogers here in Canada. On the home screen the dock icons are unresponsive. However inside an app at the bottom of the screen the icons work. So I assume this is a software issue and wish to reinstall or re-inject the firmware into the phone. I'm looking a step by step how to on doing this, current version of is 4.1.2.

EXAMPLE:

-Dock icons (icons at very bottom of screen itself) are unresponsive.

-Landscape view works, as the icons move to the side of the screen

-Open app, Instagram, all buttons at bottom work (feed, explore, camera, news, profile).
[LG Optimus G (International)] gmesheau:
Nothing? Just ads, huh
[LG Optimus G (International)] akiscoolio:
If you are not rooted and your bootlader is locked the best way to fix things in my opinion is to hard reset your device(to delete everything from inside that may couse the problem)install lg pc suite from lg and reinstall the phones firmware,this tool has an option to do this l've done it before. If you are rooted and your bootloader is unlocled just flash kdz and do a hard reset after.
[LG Optimus G (International)] gmesheau:
Hey thanks for the response. I have done the factory reset and the phone is back to oem spec.

It is not rooted or anything, I will try the lg software I didn't realize I could use this to resintall firmware. I'll give it a shot and report back. Cheers
[LG Optimus G (International)] akiscoolio:
Good luck
[LG Optimus G (International)] gmesheau:
Are you certain you're able to reinstall the firmware? All I see is that I can Backup/Restore and Update Firmware.

There's no where that says I can re-install the firmware. When I google it only picks up on firmware updates
[LG Optimus G (International)] akiscoolio:
Yes I am sure I did it my pc is down and I can't tell you exactly where is the option but I can tell you what I remember it's in the upper right corner next to help option or the other one probably and I think it says something about troubleshooting

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] greyhulk:
I'm trying to figure out how to take the best possible photos with this phone, given the limitations of the camera and I can't seem to tell which mode is giving me the better photos. Anyone want to weigh in?

Superior Auto takes an 8mp image and crams it down into a 5, correct? Much like the Lumia 1020 does with the 41mp images (to 5) and the Z1 does with the 21mp images (to 8).

I noticed the file size is smaller. In manual mode, we obviously get more options, but we also get the full 8 mp shots. I have taken samples in both modes and they look pretty similar to me.

Which is better, in your opinion and which do you generally use?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
In the older firmware superauto sucked bad and manual was the way to go, not played with auto since then. I also use 'a better camera' and fv-5
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Not entirely correct. It takes a 16:9 aspect ratio at 5mp... (loss of top and bottom aspect) To get 8mp you'll need to have 4:3.

But blue is totally right. FV-5 is my choice of campera app. its slightly better than Sony's choice... and i'll always take anything better.. :cowboy:
