The default density of 480 is something I find to be too high, the huge big screen can use a little more content. Setting it to 400 makes it quite nice.

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] DannySchaukens:
How can i change this settings?

thx for the help!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] feis:
You have to be rooted, then most simple way download app dpi changer.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] defsix:
Or just edit your DPI in the Build.prop file.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] MLAM:
I guess you still need to be rooted for that just like the Nexus 5?

Doesn't it come with the Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] soulzero:
I've always used 361, not big and not too small.

Why 361? Because 360 and less changes some layouts on some apps.. Really annoying stuff.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] filipe_m:
I have a galaxy tab 8.9 with Cwm installed (Gt-P7310)

I've been trying out different rom's lately.

After returning to the stock Ics had noticed that only free memory 1 Gb. Before trying the Rom's had a free space of 6 gb.

The Sd folder has a size of 6 Gigas. I do not know where they might be the other 5 gb.

Is there any way to delete the entire contents of the tablet and re-install android? Something similar to format a pc?

I've tried installing with Odin, but the end had the same available space.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Have you tried wiping the sdcard partition?

0. Before you do this make a nandroid backup and transfer that backup to your pc, along with any important files you want to keep.

Download a ROM.zip and Gapps.zip and put them on the sdcard partition.

1. In recovery, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik.

2. Install a new ROM and Gapps.

This next part could be risky. If something went wrong with your flash, it might be a pain to get files back on to fix it, but if you know how to use ADB, it is easy enough. That being said, most flashes go fine, and you shouldn't have any trouble.

3. Wipe the sdcard partition. Reboot. When all is said and done, you should have around 10 or 12 gb of space.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] filipe_m:
Thanks for the tip.

I had already tried to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik and install a new rom with no results.

But I found the problem:

The Camera folder was duplicated in: / data / media.

After removing it I was the free space que I expected.

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GasperP:
Hi everyone!

Today I unlocked bootloader and root Xperia Z. Then I want to flash CWM recovery. But now is cellphone in bootloop and I don't know what to do. Sony logo is flashing now for about 10 minutes.

For ROOT I used Kingo Android ROOT program.

For unlocking bootloader i was using this page: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

And when I type in phone this number *#*#7378423#*#*, the phone says the bootloader is unlocked.

But when I want to flash CWM from this page: http://editandroid.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-install-custom-cwm-recovery-in.html

all stopped in bootloop.

What I have to do?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
This is what happens when outside websites copy work/guides from XDA and directly link to files without explaining what they are.

The kernel with CWM recovery linked to in the guide you followed is for a specific (very old) firmware version. That is most probably the reason for your bootloop.

Get the correct kernel for your current firmware version here and follow the instructions to flash it via fastboot.

In future, I suggest you search for and follow guides from XDA only, as guides on other websites almost certainly originated here anyway and are kept up to date only on XDA. :)

If you go to (system root)/data/media, you'll see the files you're looking for from the internal memory, plus a folder titled "0", which is what is NOW recognized as internal.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] oxident:
I'm using the latest TCPMP version and it plays Videos very fine. Just make sure to try the different video drivers within TCPMP to see which one perfoms better for your needs. You may test the performance with the "benchmark" command in TCPMP.

For me, the "raw framebuffer" seems to be the best one (benchmark is about 200%). The default "DirectDraw" setting is a bit slower (~150%) on my JasJar.

Unfortunately the frequencies your phone can use are built-in features and can't be added by flashing another software.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayGrey:
Nothing I can do about it now?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
First of all, [MENTION=3525160]SaHiLzZ[/MENTION] has a very good point, you haven't tampered with your phone, so do

not

go unlocking your bootloader and voiding warranty... and even if warranty has expired, if a repair center sees your bootloader unlocked, they're just going to blame you!

Second, you're not the first that has had problems with a 4.xx update, seems very strange, but has happened quite a few times... can't really say why.

Third, two things you could try (without unlocking your bootloader)

1- a "fastboot erase cache"

2- those 4.xx RUUs seem very sensitive, so first make sure the MD5 is correct on your downloaded file, then use a very clean (no antivirus, as little stuff on it as possible, on an English locale) Windows 7 PC with USB2 port

Otherwise send it to repair, let them deal with the problem!! since it's obviously not your fault.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
I read about massive problems with Bluetooth keyboards over at Amazon and other places.

In fact, I ran into some problems, too - and like to share a few simple solutions with you.

1) Keyboard not detected at all, Z2 does not discover the hardware:

- Try switching Bluetooth off, wait about 10 seconds (don't skip this !), switch on again, try again.

- Restart the Z2. Quite often, the BT features encounter some hiccups after using the tablet for a while. A restart usually cures that.

2) Keyboard detected, but not selectable as an input device:

- Undo the pairing, restart the Z2, pair again.

3) Keyboard detected, working, but wrong characters appear while typing:

Three possible reasons:

- Keyboard layout in many cases (I'm not sure it's the same with every hardware combination and every OS version) seems to depend on the layout of the ONSCREEN keyboard selected. Try selecting the stock keyboard of your language prior to using your BT keyboard.

- Make sure you REALLY selected the correct system language: I experienced a sudden restart of the Z2 while using it the first time. After restarting, a WRONG language was selected automatically without prompting for input. System selected "Deutsch (Liechtenstein)" instead of just "Deutsch (Deutschland)". Result: Totally garbled layout when using the BT hardware keyboard. Took me quite a while (and some luck) finding this issue. So check your language settings even if you're absolutely sure you selected the right language after switching on the Z2 for the first time.

- After pairing the BT keyboard, go to Settings > Language & Input > Physical Keyboard, tap "Bluetooth Keyboard", select "Set up keyboard layouts", select your language EVEN IF IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR LANGUAGE IS ALREADY SELECTED. This step is often skipped, causing problems.

Suggestion: Try the "Multiling O Keyboard" by "Honso" as an onscreen keyboard. It's a bit hard to setup properly (documentation is a mess), but offers you an unbelievable wealth of customization possibilities without asking for a) money, and b) fancy permissions. The layout if FULLY customizable; I don't know any other onscreen keyboard making it possible to create a keyboard layout exactly as you want it. You can even setup an onscreen layout identical with your hardware keyboard's layout - perfect match.

This software keyboard also works flawless with BT keyboards - that's why I mention it here.

Please keep this thread clean - NO other issues to discuss here, please do NOT reply to posts dealing with other issues. Thank you ! ;)

When I was using 4.1.2 when I left the phone fully charged over night it discharged just 3-4% of battery now for the same period of stand by time it lost 12% of battery. The same problem even when using the phone for like 30minutes with 4.1.2 it dicharged 1-3% now 6-8%.

Let the firmware settle down for 3-4 days. If problem still persists flash again and do a factory reset. Back your data before factory reset.
