Hey guys, need a little help here and wanted to see if anyone else had this problem. My pictures are being saved to my microsd card. If I use quickpic for my gallery, delete a pic, it's gone from the gallery. If I restart the phone, it's back. I've tried going in through astro and deleting the files, and it just hangs, won't delete anything. I was able to go in through the camera app, then review pics through the camera app and delete from there and it worked, but I have no idea why quickpic, the stock gallery app, and astro all can't delete the pics! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And just to clarify, I'll delete a picture in quickpic, so it doesn't show up there. But if i go through astro and look in my pictures, the pics are still there, so when I restart the phone, it reloads the pics into the quickpic gallery.

Use build in file manager to delete stuff from SDCARD, google screwd everyone up by locking up sdcard functionality , the only way to fix it is by having root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
you can delete cache
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] milhouse21386:
Wow, that's unbelievable, I used the built in file manager and it worked, that's ridiculous that you can't even delete pictures from the stock gallery app either. Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] psloan:
Man, what a pain. how can this even be an issue? unbelievable!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nizbot:
Not true. You can delete photo's from the stock gallery. I just did it with a photo located on my external sd card.

Also, from what I understand about the external SD changes Google made, it would be mostly the application developers fault if something like that doesn't work correctly. An app can only write to it's own folder on the external SD, but can read all. When uninstalling, the applications folder is also deleted. I imagine this would be very tricky with pictures as you don't want to store them in 2 locations. I guess this would actually render a stand alone gallery app and file manager app useless in Kitkat when dealing with external SD files.

Also, it says this on Quickpic's page in the play store, "Can't modify the external storage in Kitkat." Sorry bro.

Hi, i would like to introduce the best launcher for elderly and kids.

My - almost - 70 year old Mom got herself her first Android phone yesterday. We installed Necta Launcher and set up the essential apps (WhatsApp, GMail, SwiftKey). Within minutes, she was flying solo. And this from someone who has never used a touch-device before. Necta Launcher does everything it promises to do, and does it brilliantly. And i can get the position of my Mom.

Hi,

We've got two volume regulations in BA: one for ringtone, other for system (mda clicks etc..). The problem here is, that though i don't want to have any clicking and other sounds or have their volume low, I want to keep my message incoming sound high.

Is there a way to solve it? - Incoming message sound volume depending on Incoming call volume?

Robert
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hulo:
Hi Belcik,

You can turn off all this click etc. from windows in:

Start -> Settings -> Personal Tab -> Sounds & Notification

if this is what u meant
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Belcik:
Unfortunatelly not....

This is what I mean: I cannot set all volumes in BA to minimum, except incoming calls and messages.

For calls is separate slider, for overall BA volume is another. When i set ringing to max, other phone sounds to minimum, the sound of incoming message will be set to minimum as well, and the only way to have it louder is to move slider of overall BA loudness (with all other BA sounds) to max...

That's the problem :(

Or maybe it's just the ROM ver??? This one sometimes behaves strange...

R.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hulo:
Hi Belcik,

My way of solving this will be to remove all not needed sounds (as in my earlier post) and leave only those one You need - like incomming message. I do not know any other way to do it.

Hello everyone!

I'm wondering if it's possible to debrand my xperia and install an original Sony firmware just changing my costumization number in the build.prop file and connect the phone to PC companion and make a repair installation.

Everything with bootloader locked and phone rooted.

Finally using this guide step one and two http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/general/guide-download-firmware-customization-t2355982

Is it possible? Can anyone confirm that? Or twill there be some problems?

Thanks a lot!!
[Sony Xperia L] Flashing_Expert:
i dont know if repair via pcc can solve this kind of problem, but i can say the simplier way to do that is flashing fw ftf via flashtool without any build.prop editing because after this youll get fresh fw without any bugs but you can try the way you mentioned here, it cant harm your phone.

repair is not 100% solution
[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
You can use SUS to 'update' your firmware, however it's more easy and simple by just flashing an FTF file which can be found here

Flashable FTF's

[Sony Xperia L] gabrygaggio19:
Thank you!

I'm from Italy but I don't find an italian FTF file there. Where can I download it? Or which file should I use?

PS what is SUS?
[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
You can/should use the worldwide FTF file mentioned in the reply above.

I'm from the Netherlands myself and most of West-Europe should simply use the worldwide file.

EDIT

About SUS, it stands for Sony Update Service, it's just like PC Companion but only the updating & repair of Xperia devices. It has no programs to transer files etc.
[Sony Xperia L] gabrygaggio19:
I have two last question:

From the guide I see I have to put my phone in Flash mode. Is it possible without unlocking my bootloader?

I have my phone rooted. If I flash a firmware with FTF will I lost my root?
[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
1. You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash FTF files

2. Yes, you'll need to root your phone again

[Sony Xperia ZL] PEDROZUN:
Hello guys, i have a xperia ZQ C6503 Brazil, i want to unlock the bootloader , install a recovery and a stable cyanogen mod , but the cyanogen installer shows the device is not supported ( they are not equal the ZL ? ) , i want a correct step-by-step for this things i want, i am confused with tons of topics with differents things..

So i want a how-to Unlocka bootloader, install a custom recovery, how to root, and how to install the cyanogen mod without the windows installer if possible. thanks. :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rafael Luis:
ZQ it's exactly the same of ZL, I don't know why Brasil changed the name, I have a ZQ and installed the cyanogenmod 11 for ZL and everything works, don't worry about that. I can see you're a little insecure, so I suggest READING MORE TOPICS. And make sure that you're installing everything for xperia ZL (ODIN) and not for the Z (yuga) or Z1.

First: read this .. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201148 READ EVERYTHING, DOOMLORD IT'S THE MAN !

AFTER READING DOOMLORD'S TOPIC: IF it's not clear, you can read http://techglen.com/2013/11/28/install-android-4-4-kitkat-on-xperia-zl-with-cm-11/# and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_odin

Suggestion: Use flashtools to install the custom kernel (connect the phone in fastboot mode, click on the lightning, choose fastboot mode and choose install/flash custom kernel) it's way easier than using terminal.

After installing adb drivers, sony drivers, fastboot drivers, and etc ...

1) unlock bootloader

2) download the last cm11 nightly and google apps for android 4.4.2 (search on the cyanogen site)

3) on the phone: put the .zip on the root of sdcard ........... on the pc: extract the .zip on desktop (you're just gonna use boot.img)

4) shutdown the phone, plug the cable on the phone pressing VOLUME UP ( + ) , a blue led should appear

5) open flashtools, click on the lightning and choose fastboot mode, after choose install/flash custom kernel and choose the boot.img that you placed in the desktop

6) Unplug the cable and reboot the phone (or it'll reboot by itself) WHEN SONY LOGO APPEARS (A PINK LED WILL APPEAR, this is the phone telling you that you can press volume up (+) to open recovery), so, when the pink led appear push the volume up (+)

7) Now you're in clockworkmode recovery, wipe cache/data/dalvik, flash the rom, flash the gapps, flash the supersu.zip(if you want it rooted)

8) Reboot (it may take a while, up to 5 minutes)

9) Have fun

My nexus 7 is unlocked and rooted etc. I have insurance on it in case of screen damage. If I did drop it and it was damaged would insurance still cover it even though its rooted? I wouldn't see why not but thought I would check.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] vparres:
Normally the disclaimer said "Warranty is void if you unlock your device", but it's only in case of the problem is caused by the fact of unlocking/rooting the device. In fact they just cover their back ^^.

Your OS cannot break physically your screen (Fortunately ^^). Some people got their devices replaced on custom ROMed devices by Asus. If you want to RMA your device, if your device still running a bit, and to be sure, factory reset and relock your bootloader before sending it.

Sincerely :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] razormccabe:
Cheers, can I unroot and relock all via windows? As in, if the device couldn't be used at all?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] vparres:
Yes, you can unroot and relock bootloader all via Windows. You just restore with factory image, and type in fastboot

fastboot oem lock

If the device is unusable, i mean nothing showing on the screen, i think Asus will not search for unlocking.

A long time ago, i was playing with my San Diego, and bricked it (When i tried to play with the locked bootloader and flash some suckastuff from me) and they accepted it on RMA, fortunately ^^

I'm trying to figure out why this phone won't connect to 4g and if I need to send it back. According to the ebay advert it showed the following:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 1900 / 2100 / 1700

Speed	HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps

It also said 4g numerous places on the posting. I have been trying to determine if there is setup that I can do to ensure it will work with 4g before I contact the user and try and go through the hassle of sending it back. I would much prefer the phone work. It should at least be able to connect via 3g but it's stuck on 2g.

The screen that flashes on boot shows t-mobile so it doesn't appear to be an at&t phone as I tried to make sure I didn't get that issue. It was my understanding that with 1700/1900/2100 frequencies 4g should be no problem. Does the APN just need to be setup right for this? Other than the APN possibility I haven't been able to find what else might be causing this in my searching so far.

Thanks for any help.
