Hello All,

I am struggling for few days to be able to make my app works in different screen sizes. As per this google doc, I have made different layouts which look like this:

res/layout/my_layout.xml // layout for normal screen size ("default")

res/layout-small/my_layout.xml // layout for small screen size

res/layout-large/my_layout.xml // layout for large screen size

res/layout-xlarge/my_layout.xml // layout for extra large screen size

But I have kept my all images in drawable-nodpi folder as I am performing changes on the images on run time like this:

<ImageButton

android:id="@+id/btnimage"

android:layout_width="159dp"

android:layout_height="210dp"

android:adjustViewBounds="true"

android:padding="5dp"

android:paddingTop="1dp"

android:scaleType="fitXY"

android:src="@drawable/Img" />

I have performed changes on layout_width and layout_height of images as per different layouts screen. Now the problem is when I open my app in mobile 5 inches (720 x 1280 pixels) or more then layout doesn't work for large screen and images don't cover whole screen instead background image show. Attach image shows how my app look in note 2 Mobile. Please any help in this regards would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello All,

This morning I upgraded to cm-11-20140505-Snapshot from cm-11-2014-05-04-Nightly. Upon boot into the new snapshot image my home button and notification tray stopped working. The home button registers presses, but does not take me to the home screen. The notification tray does not register any incoming notifications and the quick settings pulldown is inaccessible.

Upon noticing these issues I rebooted(no change), Wiped Cache and Dalvik(no change), flashed back to cm-11-2014-05-04-Nightly again(no change)

What can I try next to get the system working again?

Thanks,

Hope someone here can advice me.

I want to buy the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2, but havent decided about which one. Should I go for the 16GB or the 32GB version?

I will use a MicroSD card with it, 64GB, or if possible a 128GB MicroSDXC card. So I will have lots of room for movies, music and pics on the SD card. So, in this scenario, what is the best solution to go for? 16GB or 32GB?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
All depends what you plan to use it for. You'll quickly run out of space if you install a few large apps on the 16gb but if you don't use these kind of apps/games, you should be fine with the 16gb
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky D:
I am already hitting warnings over free space on my 16GB LTE device. I have about 1 dozen games and about 2 dozen small utility apps.

Problem is that the LTE only comes in 16GB variations for now.

Also, be aware that kit-kat doesn't allow free file browser control over the sdcard without root. i.e. without root, you can't manually create and move files on the ext_card (even with the latest File Expert file browser)

Connecting to the PC allows full-access through the PC file browser, though this is not ideal.

Root fixes everything.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheopsChefren:
Thanks for your valuable thoughts. This probably means I will go for the 32GB Note 10.1 2014.

I dont install very much, but its easier to have a bit more mmory then just the bare essential.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felborn:
I got the 16gb version and regret that decision already. I was not prepared for the fact that the memory card is heavily locked down with Kitkat

I have just found out that file commander app which we got installed on device allows copying files on sd card.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
I wouldn't recommend that. I just returned my last Note 10.1 2014.

Altogether, I had EIGHT Note 10.1.2014, WiFi and LTE variants.

ALL of them had a faulty display.

ALL of them were locked down using "Knox".

LTE versions are locked against using prepaid cards.

Rooting gets documented by an "eFuse".

Samsung prohibits downgrading to a lower firmware version.

Flooded with bloatware, of course protected against deinstallation and even stopping.

NO (!) software updates for far more than half a year.

And so on...

The Note 10.1 2014 has nice hardware (except the narrow bezels, making it virtually impossible holding the tablet without accidentally touching the screen or the hardware buttons), and the "leather-like" (which is nothing but an impudent lie) backpanel which in fact is made of extremely hard, slippery plastic), but got perfectly castrated by Samsungs malicious actions for locking down devices even more than Apple.

It's no keeper; sorry... :/

Regarding the 16/32 GB question:

Rooted Z2 (SD card write access enabled): 16 GB ok.

Non-rooted Z2: 32 GB mandatory.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felborn:
Jupp, that plastic thingy made me cringe away from it the second I picked one up in the store.

I agree with the above, to bad you can't unlock the Sony without doing the bootloader altso, I'm kinda stuck in limbo with a non-rooted 16GB version and a hardly usable 64GB brand card :/
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dom3000:
As I said above, use file commander app to write to sd card if your tablet is not rooted

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felborn:
Yeah, you can move files to it true that, but fare as I can tell you cant access SMB shares true it, so you first have to dump it to your internal memory, then move it to the SD card from File Commander. Also, you can only move files and not application, limiting the SD cards immensely
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pondy:
I also wouldnt recommend this. I just sold my Note 2014 to buy the Z2 tablet. Its waiting for me at home, havent used it yet. The Note is laggy, heavy and awkward. Just my opinion.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheopsChefren:
So, you want to advice me to use a tablet you didnt use yourself, based on what?

The Note has its problems, and can be laggy, but after freezing many unnecesary start-up apps, it reacts much better.

And you call 630 grams heavy? Compared to my Surface Pro it weighs almost nothing.

And what is awkward about the Note 2014? Please explain what you mean with that.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pondy:
Mate, that's just my opinion. Buy what ever you like. And yes, I ran clean ROM pretty much permanently, with a custom kernel - it was still very laggy. Buy it and enjoy

Hi, i am considering buying one, just one quick question: how long does it take to fully charge using original charger? Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
About 5 hours and a little more using Sony's weak 1.5 A power adapter - via USB and charging port.

If you utilize a better power adapter (like Samsung's 2 A piece), charging time goes down to a little more than 4 hours if using the charging station (I wouldn't call this a "docking station" because it cannot do more than charging) DK39.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas2805:
Well, that's not too bad, I can use my ipad charger when in rush of charging lol. So far, the most concern matter is touchscreen issues, if it not get fix soon by Sony, I guess I have to skip this one :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvuscentaurus:
I havent had any touscreen errors, but in a german forum I read everybody who had problems solved it by going to "Eingabehilfe" / "input Assistance?" - "Reaktionszeit" "reaction time?" and set it to short (it was set to short on default on my device).

the screen is reacting very bad to stylus inputs tho.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
I don't believe this has anything to do with the touchscreen sensitivity.

It's for defining how long you need to keep an item touched till the touch is regarded as "held" (like right mouse button), not as a single touch (like a left-click).

Till now, I had three Z2s of different serial number ranges (0, 1xxx, 3xxx, and 4xxx) - I never changed this setting (default: "Kurz" (short)), but ALL Z2s had touchscreen issues; the one with the serial 3xxx that bad as the screen did not respond to anything. I had to restart the Z2 using the hardware reset button.

So sorry; but this just isn't it. :rolleyes:

All went and still is fine, I would not upgrade my software I get great battery life and performance.

However there are 2 reasons that make me want to upgrade my firmware:

1) It seems Google will drop support for this Android version some time.

2) Google glasses and other gear seem to uselow energy bluetooth that was introduced in Android 4.3+

My HTC One is now on firmware version v 4.1.2.

Now if Iam going to upgrade my firmware I want to S-off aswell.

Recovery info:

ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1

Boot loader info:

*** Tampered ***

*** Unlocked ***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT11.44.0000

RADIO-4A14.3250.13

OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202

Could anyone direct me to the files needed \ steps I need to take in order to:

1) S-off.

2) Upgrade.

3) Regain root?

If you need more info about my phone let me know.

Some questions come to mind when reading the information on this link:

http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/android-ruu-europe/

"You should not need to downgrade your hboot version for this RUU to work.

This should work for S-On users that need to return to stock that haven’t received the latest minor OTA update for 4.19.401.11"

My hboot version is now 1.44.0000 if I flash this RUU would this upgrade my hboot version, if so to what version?

It does state it works for S-On users, there should be no problem flashing this S-OFF right?

If I flash this RUU will I be able to flash it again later?

As in: Incase some how the rom gets corrupt over time and I want to do a clean install using this RUU?

2) Making Nandroid backup from my version 4.1 now would I be able to load this backup if I upgrade to 4.4?

2.1) When making an Nandroid backup does it also backup a partition like mmcblk0p19?

2.2) If not, how can I make a backup from this partition?

And are there any other partitions I can backup myself that a Nandroid backup does not make?

Kind regards, Stefan.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
no it won't change by itself, you need to manually change using

fastboot oem writecid 11111111 <- or any CID you like, but it has to be exactly 8 characters, so for example HTC__001 has two underscores

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Yes.

No it will not, nandroids typically only backup /system, /data (excluding sdcard), /cache, boot.img (kernel), and recovery.img.

On the M7_U and UL models, the partitions go from mmcblk0p1 all the way to mmcblk0p37, the last ones being

mmcblk0p33	boot
mmcblk0p34	recovery
mmcblk0p35	system
mmcblk0p36	cache
mmcblk0p37	userdata <- this includes /data and your virtual sdcard

if you wanted to back all the others up, you use

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p<number> of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p<number>_bak.img

and then copy them over to your PC. you should exclude p35, 36 but especially 37, as you can't copy your entire internal storage to itself. (it just won't fit ;))

the above commands assume you have a rooted ROM (with adb already in root mode), or are running the command in custom recovery, otherwise you'd have to open a shell, and issue su first

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p<number> of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p<number>_bak.img

other than p19 [misc], p6 [mfg] could be important as it is has all the information about your phone (model, manufacture date, etc): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50712531&postcount=37
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
Made a backup of all partitions from 1 to 33.

1) You say p6 [mfg] could be important aswell.

I can make a backup of this partition by the following command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6_bak.img ?

(The reason for asking is because you note that p19 is [misc] and p6 is [mfg])

2) You say I can restore my Nandroid backup if I ever want to go back to 4.1.2

The Nandroid backup is made with CWM, would it be possible to restore this with TWRP recovery?

3) When reading your other topic I see cschmitt made a recovery that ignores BCB check.

Would it not be wise to use this recovery at all time instead of the generic TWRP recovery?

I think whit these 3 question awnsered I can change the subject to [SLOVED]. :)

Kind regards, Stefan.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Yes, the above command is correct; p6 is important because it has all the manufacture information of your phone:

Though this should never get corrupted anyway, unless you really flash something bad!! as long as you stick to flashing things appropriate for your phone model, you should be fine.

No, (as far as I know) at the moment CWM backups and TWRP are not interchangeable, but it's easy enough to change recovery at any time you like.

No, stick to regular builds, the noBCB recovery is only to be used for emergency situations.
