[Sony Xperia ZR] Unlimate:
If Z1 compact had physical keys i would bought it but on srceen nav keys with 4.3 screen is to small for me i think our phone has ideal size
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jordi_b:
Same for me: prefer my ZR over my broken Z.
[Sony Xperia ZR] effective:
Lets hope Sony will keep the 4.55 inches phones on the market,because i didn't saw any except the ZR :( i would so much like to see a ZR 2 or something with the same screen size (like the ZL 2 for example which is so similar to our ZR tho.. .)
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Yes guys, I believe that the Xperia Z2 Compact should came in 4.5" display cuz 4.3 is a bit small because of the onscreen keys
[Sony Xperia ZR] traingobonghp:
i think that: why do we make good rom cook, may be 4.3 or 4.4 from XZ more than waitting.... rolling out 4.4 for ZR. May be the team user ZR have little Moderator. I'm sorry, my English very poor!
[Sony Xperia ZR] mahinthan5:
I had big struggle while buying phone Xperia Z or Xperia ZR. In my country Xperia Z is cheaper for some miracle still that is the case.

Xperia Z = 365 $

XPeria ZR = 450$ (Now ZR increased to 480 $ while Z price remaining same)

I was about to buy cheaper new Xperia C first as I don't need much power but a bigger screen for Map and reading. Then I found that didn't have waterproof. Then I have thought to buy Xperia Z. You could say buy a cover. I'm in to no cover camp..

Not just for water proof. All other things and the fact that i will be able to get updates and keep the phone usable state for some more years. So I end up getting Xperia Z. Then I got a nice xpera ZR deal from a person. It was very new only 4min call time with all accessories.. He agreed for 305$. Now the dilemma is between ZR for 305$ or Z for 365$.

Then the factors made me to choose ZR are

1) Getting for cheaper price.

2) BATTERY LIFE.
[Sony Xperia ZR] paulnguyen2108:
3) Performance

4) IPX8 rated waterproofness

5) Smaller size :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] mahinthan5:
3) Performance : That is marginal right? I preferred the little larger and High DPI

4) IPX8 rated waterproofness: All the protection I wanted is slight rain. So this is not a big deal

5) Smaller size: I would liked 5in display and slim attractive design of the Z than ZR

1) & 2) were the reason I made my mind to ZR.. If Z had better battery life or equal I would have bought it.. If I'm not in a third world I would have sold this and bought the Z2 right now...
[Sony Xperia ZR] hans3103:
It's very silent today, I noticed that for the Xperia Z the update is rolling out to more parts of the world.
[Sony Xperia ZR] doby_p:
I'm going to contact Sony tomorrow to see if I can get any info.

Its really suspicious that the support page hasn't been updated to kitkat when all the others models for the .230 release have.

Did the bluetooth issue with 4.3 ever get solved? I didn't read too much about it but it seemed to be a hardware issue that was triggered by 4.3, very strange. Perhaps they've delayed 4.4 to fix it? Then again wouldn't they have announced a delay in the blog post...?

I'm really eager for 4.4, I bought a smartband in anticipation and really want to start using it!
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
I think that the Bluetooth issue was a hardware failure on some versions of Xperia ZR, cuz some users didn't face this problem at all (including me), i have this phone now for a long time and Bluetooth is working for me properly.
[Sony Xperia ZR] doby_p:
Yeh I don't have the issue either, it was just weird loads of people complained about it after the 4.3 update and cited it as the cause.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
it's hardware related, press hard the back of the cover near camera lens and it works properly for a period of time!!!
[Sony Xperia ZR] swasha123:
Hi friend, can not wait. Sony please wake up.

[Sony Xperia ZR] hulako:
Got my device updated! Runs like a charm from what I've noticed so far. Haven't had a chance to try out the battery-life yet.

The update however was not as smooth. It failed and the phone was stuck with a message telling me "the software update failed". So i repaired it with Sony Bridge for Mac and it worked.

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention I live in Sweden.
[Sony Xperia ZR] chikotekno:
YES :good: I'm waiting for FTF. :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] doby_p:
I've already made one but my broadband upload is slow and it's nearly a 1GB file! Probably best for someone else to upload it with a better connection.

If I do it you will have it by this time tomorrow probably, or even later.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Maleficshrew:
Possible to use a VPN or something so that you can do OTA update from a country that has it?

Guys time to subscribe to this thread again
[Sony Xperia ZR] doby_p:
I'm not sure if it works like that or if it reads what country customisation you already have installed and offers a new update if there's a match.

OTA didn't show for me but PC companion did.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulianLG:
Hi there,

I just tried to flash a newer version of TWRP (to be able to write NAND backups on exFAT formatted external SD cards) but after that I could not boot the system. I had to flash a system rom again and restore from titanium backup.

After that - for whatever reason - I had the old version of TWRP recovery installed again..

So, is there any way to update TWRP without getting the same problem again?

Thanks in advance and best,

Julian
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
Can't you update recovery by using the goo manager app?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulianLG:
Nope, it just says "recovery has been installed" - but nothing happened :-/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crucky:
just do fastboot flash recovery openrecoveryXXXXX.img ? everything should be the same but your recovery should be updated :)

einfach mit fastboot flashen dein rom bleibt unangetastet.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravenmtx:
You could try TWRP Manager
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulianLG:
Well, I'm not quite sure what I did (or did wrong) in the first place - but it works.

fastboot flash recovery did the trick.. now.

Thank you guys!

There is also a commercial program
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] oxident:
It looks like LxCam is an application in order to use the Universal's cam as a webcam on your desktop pc. I think fuhayer wants to use the cam in a chat application right on his Universal.

Too bad that Microsoft didn't include such a function in their Pocket MSN application :(

.ox

I had it working!!!!

My MDA PRO is right now in reparation (because it fel into water) but otherwise I could of proven it to you :)

still could not succeeded. i think no any way to use camera in MSN chat.

hope a new msn software includes this feature.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] music.niko:
Hi guys, i'm new here. Yesterday I flash DITTO ROM RC2 for my note 2 then i try to install S-health from s4 and note 3 and even s5. Pedometer doesn't function. Neither Pedometer from Runtastic function. What could be the problem?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joy854:
Note 2 doesn't have the required sensors to measure footsteps or heart rate.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamertr:
I'm confused

I think that has nothing too do with the sensors, except the sensor for heart rate sensor. So far I know Pedometer (Footsteps counter) is counting the steps via gyroscope and proximity sensors. I read that some people are using the S Health app on S3 devices.

Beside I have the same problem. I have a note 2. The app starts but can not count my steps. But I think that is more an app specific problem and has nothing to do with missing sensor.

PS: I have a note 3 and checked the sensor differences with note2. Yes Note3 has 2 sensors, on sensor for detecting and one sensor for counting steps. I hope this problem will be fixed. I think steps can be count via proximity sensor and gyroscope... :crying:

Hi there,

I'll try to make my coverart rotate during the playtime.

Anybody has an idea of the variable ? ! Think it will be something like this [r]$(360/??*??)$[\r] but don't know what to put in the place of ??.

Thanks for help.
[Zooper Widget General] scottx .:
You can do this in advanced parameters (of the coverart bitmap)

$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?[r]180[/r]$

So when it's playing it will flip it 180 degrees.
[Zooper Widget General] Faxx4840:
Thanks but I want that the cover rotate during all the playtime like a vinyl;)

Maybe you could use the track position to change the bitmap rotation.

How can i do this ?

[Android General] TheArc:
I know, this thread may feel unnecessary to many of you, and I know this may spark some issues. But I'm going ahead and doing this. I'm not writing this up because of attention, its because of all the support and effort provided by all the developers, contributors, themers, moderators, technical members, pretty much everyone. That I need to show a way to thank them all at once.

On behalf of every user like me and many other's, I would like to thank every single person that pushed their limit and work tirelessly to produce and achieve something that they enjoy doing. Not because of money but because of simply enjoying the fact that people like us get to use what they've created.

If xda-developers wasn't here, many people that contribute here would have never achieved what they could have to this point. Why do I say that? Because xda is well known for inspiration and achievement. When a person sees one creating an astonishing project, they wonder and think to themselves if they could ever achieve something like this. And that's when you realize you want to get into development, contributing or simply helping people that are experiencing problems.

Over the years I've seen many projects, and I can damn tell you, people here are smart enough to be CEO's at companies. Heck smart enough to own companies and create new things. The projects are simply amazing, and sometimes hitting the thanks button and giving a donation doesn't really fill your need of appreciation. I honestly can't thank every individual here at xda that provide, help or simply ask questions. Without that xda wouldn't be xda. I decided to create this thread to show my appreciation for all that have provided people with solutions, projects and the love for technology.

If I had the time to fill this thread up with each and every individual that makes xda what it really is. The thread would be endless. I really hope that this thread isn't a concern and if you're a developer or simply someone that's exploring the vast world of Android. I would like to thank you for making xda what it really is.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lynchie1987:
Hi,

I understand that the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is one of the first to have MHL 3.0 (Along with the Z2 Phone) however is there any adapter out at the moment to put this onto to your TV yet?

Is this something that a universal adapter will sort? Is it something I need to wait for Sony to release?

Cheers.

So, seeing I get my Z2 tomorrow, also ask if anybody has tried the MHL to HDMI adapters. Seems a limited choice here where I live, so asking for some additional input.

Seems I can get the official Sony IM750 MHL Adapter, however it doesn't mention the Tablet compatibility, only phones.

I bought a cheap mhl v1 cable that works fine. It just crops the bottom of the screen off on the TV http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281294982152

It has to have a micro usb to power it, but most tvs or dvd players have a spare usb port to power the adapter.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Thanks for the link. I suppose it would come down to whether the TV USB would transmit power via USB, but in the worst case, one could carry a USB charger (seeings I have several of those laying around ;) )

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lammersjoost:
Hey gents,

Last night I rooted my Xperia SP and flashed it to the CM 11.

I've made a backup of some of my apps using the Sony Xperia Back up and Restore tool (yeah, I know, that wasn't smart).

Now that everything running fine, there is still the matter of restoring those items, which are stored in the ".semc-fullbackup" folder.

I can see several back-ups, but no way to restore them.

Is there any Back-up and Restore tool that can handle those sony backups and functions for Android 4.4?

Or can I put the data back manually somehow?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oki:
Dear all and more specially Mamaich,

Since all the development has been focused on HTC devices, I am trying to use as much as has been developed here for hacking the Mio A701 ROM. Its device alias is ScoterUT. I had a Wallaby 3 years ago, while all these tools were in the development phase so I am familiarized with them.

Now our community has nothing but 3 leaked ROM updates, the latest ROM R55 with voice dialing and push-mail (AKU2 ROM). The basic tools we need to cover are:

ROM backup utility

: Now only WM5 Files Dumper from Buzz Lightyear works in our devices. It is a limited tool since we can only get the files in the IMGFS partition. Any idea on how to backup the ROM of the A701?

Modify a dumped ROM

: I could modify the files because your imgfs_tools work when trying to extract files from the leaked ROMs. All the files and modules are extracted successfuly using -nosplit option. But we can not replace the Radio or bootloader since we can not extract them from our devices or leaked ROMs.

Make a customized ROM

: Now I do not now, not yet, if BuildImgfs can rebuild a ROM since it stops with an application error and it closes. My question is: Can I rebuild it and create a nb0 file for our devices using make_imgfs and a leaked ROM as a template?

Thanks in advance,

Oki
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oki:
I have finished the first step, so now I am heading for the second objective. I am going to need help from others like Buzz Lightyear or Mamaich. I am sure that they can provide me with all the information needed for creating customized WM5 OS for Scoter (Mio A701/A700).

BTW the guide for doing a flashable backup of the A701 can be found here: http://www.fourpages.co.uk/mioA701/viewtopic.php?t=622&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

Hay Oki, you sure do get around don't you. Impressive community for HTC devices. As a mio owner, I'm wrought with jealousy.

Regards,

Jason
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oki:
Actually I was part of this community when Wallaby was the only XDA device available. Now I am proud to own a Scoter. Thus I'd like seeing more posts about A701 here.

Regards,

Oki
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JKR:
That would definitely be great. The Mio has some impressive hardware under the hood. It really is not only one of the first completely (nearly) converged devices, but well built to boot. Now if only customer service was a little more "western" friendly....

BTW, hows the ROM coming? Also, have you been able to find the service manual for the a700/a701?

Cheers,

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_R_Z_87:
Hi guys,

today I flashed the modded radio apk (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715093) and after this my bluetooth Sony headset loses the connection several times while listening music.

I'm pretty sure that the modded apk doesn't cause this issue, but.... However, after this I tried to restore the radio app with Titanium Backup and everything worked well - until the next restart. When I'm rebooting my Z1c the radio app is lost and needs to be restored again - two weeks ago I've got the same issue with the clock app. I can restore it again and use until the next reboot. I also tried to install the modded radio app again via flashable zip - no success.

I use rooted stock rom, 4.4.2 with unlocked BL.

Does anyone know this issue? I've searched the forum but I don't found an answer...
