Can someone help ? I tried Interkey but was not able to make it run with WM2005 on my Universal, uninstalled it but partially. Now I get a notification error each time I open my XDA Exec with this msg: "Cannot execute \Windows\IKAgent.exe". How can I remove it ?

Thank you, :cry:

Has anyone ever figured this out? The link above directs you to the interlink website. That doesn't tell you how to delete this horrible and annoying popup. I have lived with this for 2 years and can't stand it anymore. I have deleted all the paragon software I can find. I've deleted everything Interkey. I have searched the registry and deleted for interkey or anything remotely similar. The only thing I can think of as to why this popup keeps coming up is that Paragon over wrote the normal Keyboard file so I need to restore that file. Any clues???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
Have you had a look in \Windows\Startup\ folder?

If not look in registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Treenigheden:
Removing InterKey 3.0

1. Go to Start>Settings>System>Remove programs.

2. Select Paragon Software InterKeyPPC and tap Remove.

3. Tap Yes to confirm removal. Wait until the system completes uninstalling InterKey 3.0 and a reboot prompt appears. Tap OK to reboot.

Worked fine for me :D

Note that I'm not referring to the write issues which I'm well aware of.

But it seems that the new kitkat file picker can't detect my SD card at all, even when 'show advanced devices' is enabled.

For example, in VLC and Adobe reader , the library no longer shows my SD card.

Same goes for Quickoffice : the file picker only let's me select from my internal storage.

Samsung apps as well as power amp and music apps seem to work fine though.

Does anyone else experience this too? It really blows as my 64gb card is now a paperweight...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluesbrother020:
I had the same problem, take a look at this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617921

It worked for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
Does that make the external SD card show in apps that use the File Picker as well? I'm currently unrooted and I don't wish to root unless I'm sure it'll be solved. I don't need the write access which the hack was supposed to enable.

This is what I'm referring to:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluesbrother020:
My problem was that Calibre could not write to the ExtSdCard.. I was also not so keen to root, but I thought I give it a go:

I can't give a page, but search for: "root-i9505xxufnb8-android-442-kitkat" and it wend smoot. After that I change the xml and the problem with Calibre was solved. So conclusion: I don't know or that was the same problem, but now the Apps can write to the extsdcard again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
Thanks for the feedback!

Could you help me try the following and see if you get the same results as my screeenshot above?

1. Open QuickOffice

2. Click 'Open a file'.

3. In the following file picker, tap the Menu icon, then go to Settings.

4. Tick 'Show Advanced Devices'

5. Now in the file picker, does it show only 'Internal storage' or both Internal and external storage shows up?

Thank you! :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] da1k:
Hello,

Recently I bought Xperia Z Ultra to carry one device instead of two (Nexus 7 and Samsung S III Mini). Unfortunately I didn't know about different layouts and I didn't check before in which mode Z Ultra works. I though that application check resolution and shows its best. Now I know that it works in phone layout. I read also that after rooting I can switch to tablet layout. So my questions are:

1. Is it make a sense to root my Xperia and switch layout? If yes should I choose tablet or phablet layout? Is there any phablet layout for Z Ultra?

2. What's the difference between Phone, phablet and Tablet layout?

3. How many applications are written in double (triple) layouts?

4. Is it any difference in these layout for e.g. Angry Birds (all games), Amazon Kindle, Chrome, Flipboard, Google Maps, Pocket? Could anyone send me some pictures if there are differences? (I already sold Nexus 7 so I can't compare)

best regards,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
1. If you want to, sure. It's nice to have tablet layout.

2. You already know how the phone layout looks like. It's dense so the UI elements fit properly on small screens. Phablet layout is what you see on the Nexus 7 and newer tablets that run KitKat. Google removed the tablet system UI layout in KitKat, but apps still run like they've always done. So there are two official layouts. Phone (Nexus 5) and "Phablet" (Nexus 7). The Z Ultra actually runs a strange mix of that. Pocket runs in tablet mode out of the box on the Ultra.

3. I don't know what this means.

4. Games won't have a different layout. Chrome, Flipboard, Maps and Pocket will. Note that it's the devs responsibility to support tablet layout, so don't really expect every app out there to support it.

I could take some screenshots of some apps in tablet mode, but I'm currently running the GPe ROM (KitKat) and I'm running it at 400 DPI, i.e phone UI.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] da1k:
Thank you for so good answer. Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Unfortunately, Kikat does not support layouts anymore. Even if you lower the density to 100 it does not switch to tablet layout like it used to.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Correct, but you will at one point get the "phablet" statusbar (split notification/quick settings) and the split Settings and other minor changes when you lower the DPI to a certain point (192 I think, but I don't really remember). But yeah, the old tablet UI is gone in KitKat.

Note that the 192 DPI detail above is something that I have only tested on AOSP ROMs and not on Sony ROMs, so I don't know if or how a stock ROM will react to a change like this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Doesn't work. I've tested few months ago.

Good day guys. Have a time that will make my phone okay with this problem, I try to tell the story from the beginning. A long time I was with liquidsmooth ROM was normal until I updated my phone there and began to take a problem with GAPPS, spoke that the gapps had stopped, and I could not log into my Google account, tried several other roms and gapps and nothing, the solution came along with a restore to stock ROM, but then came another problem is that I consider worse, my recovery no longer reads the files that are in the internal memory, cant mount / sdcard (now recoverys tried several and all are having the same problem), and with that I can not flashing anything if not by sideloading the problem with this issue is that I can not give you factory reset to install other roms, I've put other roms stock and the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution? excuse my bad english. thank you

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] toxic_garden:
As i did not find any thread about people who actually removed their ASF, i just documented the removal for further use.

Reasons for removing the ASF (Fingerprints, scratches, dust, etc.) have been discussed before, so i won't tell about that again. Sony support even cleared out that removing the ASF does NOT affect the warranty in any way.

Basically, the removal is equal to the Z1. I just took my original Z1C (1), scratched the foil on the upper right corner a bit and began peeling it off. (2)

And YES, the logo comes off with it. To be honest, I don't really care about that. I know it's a Sony-device, so i don't need to read it every time. (3)

The screen doesn't look any different when it's turned off (4), but it seems a bit clearer when activated.(5)

At the first few minutes, swiping felt a bit sticky. I just used a tissue and wiped off the remaining glue. Now it feels pretty snatchy. ;)

I'll have a closer look at the screen look&feel the next days, but i'm not going to buy any other screen protector. Never used them on my prior devices (Desire HD, SGS2, HTC One,..) and never got any hard scratches on the screen.

Hope this helps anwering some questions that come up every time the ASF is discussed.

P.S.: Sorry for the crappy picture quality. Whoever complains next about z1c's camera should try making good pictures using a Blackberry Q10. :P
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bossk128:
I was also told by Sony support removing the ASF doesn't affect the warranty. Go wild!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bigxie:
I also removed the ASF using an x-acto knife following this YouTube video (specific for Z1c, but same procedure as Z1):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip2kei7BwkA

I then installed the following tempered glass protector, it feels great, and I agree the screen does look a bit clearer:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-9H-...163?pt=US_PDA_Accessories&hash=item2336b638fb

One word of advice for people following that video, you should try to place a microfiber cloth between the knife blade and the metal trim, or you may nick it. I have tiny (almost indiscernible) scratches on my trim because I didn't think of that before.

EDIT: Uploaded a picture
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Deleted member 3151966:
I see there in the Ebay listing that this has a piece of glass for the camera itself? Is that right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bigxie:
I didn't get that exact eBay listing as I'm actually in China now and used the equivalent service here. But, I saw the same screenshots. The back protector isn't actually glass, it's just a plastic one and doesn't over the camera at all. I ended up not putting on the back since it was cut so close to the actual size of the back I couldn't get it aligned that perfectly.

The glass front protector is excellent though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] toxic_garden:
Just a short update: after removing the asf, the Phantom touch issues increased a lot. No matter how many times I cleared the screen, it went mad about 3 - 4 times a day. So I bought a screen protector from artwizz and installed it yesterday. After 24 hours of use, I didn't have one more touch issue. Seems like it'd fix the Phantom touch problems for me, which is good. Otherwise I would have returned the device pretty soon.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vlawrence0324:
Can i put tempered glass screen protector on top of ASF? Will that decrease the sensitivity touch?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] thermalboyz:
Not at all decrease sensitivity. I had mine glass on ASF (Without Camera and Sensor cutout), so far no problem with selfie + sensor + touch is as usual.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Walter_White:
What glass is underneath? Is it some version of Corning gorilla glass or just "regular" run of the mill digitizer glass?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] cpanos:
Is there an ASF film at the back as well? People are reporting that the back is not glass but plastic.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Walter_White:
There is supposedly an ASF on the glass version of the back (sold in Jaoan only). The plastic one does not have one I think.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] cderrick14:
OP, How has the screen been since you took off the ASF? Any scratches or other issues? How is the touch screen responsiveness?

I am very intrigued by removing the ASF, but once I do, any scratches I might incur are very permanent to the device.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] toxic_garden:
it became VERY sensitive. I noticed that way more ghost touches occoured. I didn't use alcohol to remove the remaining glue afterwards, perhaps this was the problem. But anyways, the screen glas is really resistant. Didn't notice any scratches for the two weeks, i left it this way. Now i have a good looking dulled screen protector on it, which eliminated the ghost touches completely and also keeps the sunlight reflections at a minimum. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Richylitschy:
Hey,

i just bought a Z1 from eBay and got a lot of ghost touches.I looked around the forum and it seems like that the previous owner of the Z1 has removed the ASF, since there is no logo on the front side of the phone. With those ghost touch issues, the phone is pretty unusable... Did the screen protector fix the issues for you completly? If yes, which one do you use?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] paddylaz:
One thing that's worth noting that I see hasn't been mentioned:

The ASF is actually deceptively thick. So when you take it off you'll notice the screen is now 'sunken' into the body of the phone with sharp edges on all four sides....not flush as it appears with the film on (or on an iPhone for instance).

Thought might be worth mentioning...I couldn't stand it but some might.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] toxic_garden:
I used the Artwizz protector (as you are from Hamburg too: Mediamarkt Nedderfeld ;) ) and it eliminated 95% of the ghost touches. I still have them rarely when i use Swiftkey for swiping, but that's most likely more a software- than display-bug.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] cderrick14:
It really annoys me how easy it is to scratch the asf, I have had the phone for a couple of weeks and I already have a few hair line scratches on the front as well as a bunch on the back. I am glad I like the phone, but man does it kill the re-sell value.

I think I will keep the ASF on for now, and once it gets in rough shape I will remove it and try it without the asf.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Richylitschy:
Yeah thanks! Bought it and zero glitches anymore!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hanza:
I can confirm this. I took it off yesterday, not sure if I'm entirely happy with the result (took front off as well). It feels nice and is more scratch proof than asf but I think I need something on it with oleophobic coating.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] WWeltmeister:
Removed the ASF due to a little scratch. The touchscreen is very very annoying with ghost touches. Also ordered a glass protector, but my advise: leave the ASF on! At least until you have a protector. Its a pretty sh-itty phone now
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] benitorios:
ASF successfully replaced by tempered glass protector

Just to reporting that I successfully made the swap. A few notes for those who'd like to attempt it:

- ASF is indeed 0.2-0.3mm so when you remove it, the glass of the screen will be recessed without the edges. It feels ok, but if you prefer the tapered edge feeling, it's best to put a protector back on - which I did.

- I went for a tempered glass protector (from Ultimate Shield), which I put on immediately after removing the ASF so I can't confirm the ghost touch issue. Having read about it, I thought i'd put on the protector right away and save myself the trouble.

- The Ultimate Shield protector is ok overall, but is cut too short and too narrow. The cutout for the front speaker is too wide. So i'm not 100% happy. I eventually put it a bit off-center, resting against the left side of the aluminium edge since I hold the phone in my left hand and like to swipe from that left edge. There are probably better-fitted protectors than the Ultimate Shield one to be found. Just thought i'd mention my experience with this particular one.

- Getting the glass protector onto the screen without letting any dust particle fall in between is near-impossible! I thought I had it perfect until I spotted a tiny piece of lint trapped in there. After the protector "settled" onto the screen, the air bubble it created is nearly invisible, but if you attempt this, take all precautions to avoid dust in the air or you'll end up like me

- Touch responsiveness seems to be unchanged vs. before. No ghost touches either from having played with the phone for several minutes. So far, so good then.

Overall happy with the change - no more hairline scratches, better fingerprint resistance, unchanged touch responsiveness, no issue with proximity/light sensor (there is no cutout for them in the US protector). Just wish the protector had been cut more accurately to really fit edge to edge in the alu frame...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Darkimmortal:
The ghost touches aren't all that bad - just once or twice a day you need to re-lock and unlock to reset the touch state

I honestly had just as bad touch performance with the 2 tempered glass protectors I've tried (both were fitted after removing ASF). Bad in a different way though - random lack of responsiveness and certain areas just outright not responding at all until re-lock.

The touch screen definitely seems to be calibrated for the ASF only - any protectors or removal of the ASF **** it up
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] keno_ro:
What glass protector did you have as I can not find a full front glass protector but only with cutouts.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nas93:
Sorry to be necroing this thread but... is it me or is there what looks like an additional layer of film that looks like its removable below the asf itself?? Or is that part of the glass??
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DeepCruncher:
I also noticed an additional layer remaining on the glass after removing the ASF. It has the same size as the ASF.

Unfortunately only some days after removing the ASF, I noticed already 2 scratches on the "glass" (which seems to be not only glass, maybe a weaker plastic layer on top of the glass) after carrying just in my pocket!

The question is if it's possible to manage the removal of the "additional layer" of the glass or if it's just part of the dragontrail glass so I have to deal with it and to use screen protectors... :confused:

There's only one way to find out - take it off!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dusan92:
I think I'll remove ASF film tommorow. I have some screen protector on top of it, but have spare one and may use it instead of ASF. It have few nicks and it annoys me..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DeepCruncher:
I tried it with a utility knife and a cooktop scraper but nothing took off the layer... :/

A few days ago I was curious about the display glass of the Z5 series (which has no ASF).

There is definitely no additional layer and it feels like real glass, not like plastic once more.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] krutoistudent:
there is also no additional layer on my phone, i pretty much removed the ASF on day 1 that is almost two years ago now and the screen does not scratch that easy, that definitely looks like an extra layer
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DeepCruncher:
Maybe Sony used different display glasses for their Z1c, some with extra layer and some without.

I remember my first smartphone Motorola Defy with Gorilla Glass 1. After 2,5 years usage there was only one small scratch (2 mm long) :good:

And my Xperia T had no blemish at all after 1 year, so I'm a little bit unsatisfied with the current status.

But nevertheless the Z1c is now 2 years old and will be exchanged by another phone in the next year(s) :p

hi everybody -

i am new to the forum and i would like to know if it is possible to actually put bloatware on a google edition phone. i know this sounds weird but here's the story. i thought i was being a cool boyfriend by buying a google edition s4 for my wife instead of the regular at&t samsung s4 from their site because there would be no bloatware on the google edition. After my wife (who has been used to using the bloatware off s3 and loving some of those things) played with the google edition and absolutely hated that it didn't have any of the samsung features from an actual samsung phone bought from at&t. What i'm wondering is, is there a way to actually put all that bloatware onto a google edition s4 somehow? so that way, the phone will perform and have all the apps and features of an original samsung s4? does it need to be rooted, etc.? any tips and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
The short answer is no, it's not possible. But you could always sell it on ebay and buy a GT-i9500 or GT-i9505 instead to stay off contract, or buy the AT&T phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorg:
Theoretically, it's possible. Not by direct flashing I9505 firmware. But some cleaned one should be fine because I9505G has less space in system partition.

I'm not sure if partition layouts between I9505G and I9505 are the same (except sizes). If yes, then you can flash CWM/TWRP and then install any custom I9505 TW ROM. If partition layouts are different, then some work will be required.

You need to monitor threads about flashing GE ROMs to normal I9505 device and see what's the difference.
