I have an MDA and I am using and displaying the following apps on my Today Screen:

Wisebar Advance, SPB Diary, SPB Weather and SPB Pocket

The sequence of my display is:

Wisbar Advance

Pocket Plus

Weather

Diary

Communications Manager (Icon) Bottom Right

Calendar Contacts

Is there anyway to:

Delete the line that contains the Communications Manager (Icon)?

Thank you in advance!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] decknologist:
Simply remove the Init_Tray link from the start-up folder:

\Windows\StartUp
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] asctony:
Thank you for taking the time for replying to my posting. when I went to Windows/Startup Init_Tray was not in there. I did a search and found:

Windows\Init_Tray.exe

Windows\Init_Tray.Lnk

I tried to rename and delete Init_Tray.Lnk and could not. Any other suggestions? Thank you again!!

Just completed removing the following:

DAT MailTrigger 3450/3624 (174)

OZ Communications OM IM 3624/3629 (5)

T-Mobile HotSpot Login Utility 3629/4052 (423)

Restart after removal and no problems.

I assume that when I removed OZ COmmunications it also removed the Communications Manager Icon from the bottom of my screen. Another question resolved.

Thanks for your responses.

Hi guys...

After installed last available dual recovery CWM-TWRP dual recovery on my SGP 312, with a rooted 4.3 stock rom, the result is... BRICKED!

There the SONY logo booting and nothing else, not even been able to power off the device.

The only thing I've seen having some effect is PWR+Vol.UP wich seems to reboot, but nothing else. If I connect to flashtool is not able to recognize the device attached to my PC.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynotdroidberg:
I recently bought an AT&T Note 3, and I am wondering which LTE bands/frequencies the phone is compatible with...

I am looking to use the phone in Singapore (Bands 3 (1800mhz) and 7 (2600mhz)). The AT&T website states that phone covers band 7, while a phone rep stated that it covers band 3. A google search brings up conflicting info. If I can't use my Note 3 in Singapore, I will have to exchange phones. Any help?

Thanks

[Testing] QuantumDev:
I may have a possible compatibility issue with the newest app(game). I have a friend who uses a note 3 complained about a sharp drop in fps during my game when the score reaches around 30. I wanna know if this is a universal issue with the note 3 and possibly other android tablets. I was wondering if anyone with a note 3 or any android tablet with a large display could test out my app too see if this is a consistent issue. Thank you guys!

Some Battery Stats

My Little Battery Test (Still waiting for your's ;) [MENTION=5076961]DoO37[/MENTION]

A general look on the battery

Playing Asphalt Now All Test will test how 10% of battery would perform

Youtube On 3G I don't have 4G

Watching Monster's University

While watching I felt many wakelocks as if the movies app is forcing the mobile to stay away which causes a 0,1 second lag after an interval of 10 minutes even Wakelock takes more power than the Movies app
[Sony Xperia ZR] moolash:
Rocks

Thanks for the review.

There is no lag here folks. Everybod is dissing the new FW on forums, but it is not bad at all.

Our phone should be able to handle this and it actually does a great job!!!

I use Swype and completely uninstall any other keyboards but all keyboards lag if you type damn quick.

For card-write permissions, is Xposed Framework the solution, guys?? (like recommended here)
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
I myself use this as it is use once and forget
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
have you tried switching between Alphabets and numbers ?, if so had you encountered any lags/delays ?!

just try to tab it 5 times quickly

Yes, Storage Handle Module is a great solution.. it works more than better

I will search for this keyboard lag error and see if it only happening to me

[MENTION=5085107]John98Zakaria[/MENTION] Thanks bro for your battery review :good:

strange news here, for me the battery life is Impressive !, even better than 4.3
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
[MENTION=5076961]DoO37[/MENTION]

My battery has been always unlucky :(

I never knew why :(
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
That's weird :rolleyes:

but i think this is because you're a gamer, aren't you ?! ;)

Games are the most battery draining, my battery reviews only focuses on normal usage like chatting, browsing, calling..etc

But when i play "Clash of Clans" for 10-15 mins, the battery drops 5-7 % :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
Oh thank goodness I though my battery was defective

Although I didn't buy a quad-core phone to use it for calls
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Yes, you're right, but any battery test only focuses on the normal usage for the device, and also when i play a game i feel that the battery in a bit better that 4.3
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
Ehm, About gaming actually you can't feel it better it's a physiological feeling as it is full screen but actually now your mobile renders 120X720 while in 4.3 the on screen buttons decrease the resolution that was rendered

I made a Picture Test and found that night photography has been improved alot

Now the green noise is very little and un-noticed

Will post photos later
[Sony Xperia ZR] si josh:
thanks for your review. some agree with you.

but, i don't find lag with keyboard, bcause i type slow, hehe.

cant write on sd, but foldermount fix it... :D

media apps, yes they are not updated with the last version.

really love with the full screen.. :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:

Need guidence.

I have copy paste Google Dialer in system/priv-app and set permission of rw-r-r.

But it is now working.

I want to remove it.

May I just delete it?? will it affect system performance?? or any other method?
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
As long as you have your stock dialer there it's OK otherwise do not
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
How much time you got "Screen On" ?!

and if you are facing WiFi always on even if you turn it off.. just disable "Scanning always available" from Settings>Wi-Fi>Advanced
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
I didn't had wifi always on, it even turned off when I leave home, university or work.

and don't remember how much time :D but let's say 4-6 hours in 2 days for massaging.
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Screen on for 4-6 hours is really great :D

cuz i'm a hard battery user.. it lasts for me max 4 hours screen on with WiFi/Data enabled for 1 day
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
Yeah I didn't expect it neither! looks like battery performance in kitkat is really really good! they have optimized everything. I still had a lot of battery draining from location service for 20 min and google services for more than 35 min!! else I didn't had any major problems.

it's just google services and google + get a lot of battery for ssl certification error (or maybe other error I'm not aware of it), even location service for google get a SSL certification error!
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Great Sony !

Hope we'll receive a more stable update soon like Z1
[Sony Xperia ZR] elVitcon:
Still keep waiting patiently for the battery life review. I'm really excited about this update but deny to download the latest update. Few months ago I rolled back to 4.2 from 4.3 because of the bad battery life as well as the bug "Android OS" which drains a lot of my battery.
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
I've completed the Hard Usage Test, and i got an impressive results for more than 5 hours Screen On with Data and WiFi enabled ,continuous usage for chatting, browsing..etc and also playing Clash of clans for about 30 mins ! ,voice calls more than 1 hour and it lasts for 12 hours WiFi enabled till discharged from 100 to 0 %

a lot better battery life from the previous update

Today i'll be making another one to ensure battery life, and i'll post the screenshots and battery stats for my tests
[Sony Xperia ZR] nikhilkaushik:
Unusual Bug

I've found an unusual Bug. Whenever I uninstall the keyboard app update due to which the keyboard lag is coming, the back key on.the navigation bar stops reacting.... It works ok of we somehow.come out of the app. This happens both times either we do it from play store or from settings app. And there is no lag if we remove the update of the keyboard app.
[Sony Xperia ZR] tudork:
SwiftKey also has lag :(
[Sony Xperia ZR] hans3103:
I think the rom have some lags at some point. It's a good rom but a little slower than 4.2/3 and that is a little strange because it should be designed for light devices. I think there is some bug because the hardware of xzr is good enough.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Technoboi:
This is not yet available for my cousin's ZR but I sure hope it happens soon because ever since she got the phone C5502 model she has not been able to connect to WIFI. It doesn't connect to any Wireless connections and she is forced to use Data only.

When it was on Jellybean 4.2 it worked without a hitch when I had in Florida...but as soon as I brought it to Jamaica and updated to Jellybean 4.3 it all went down hill. Does anyone know what this is?
[Sony Xperia ZR] elVitcon:
That sounds cool. I got a question for you. Can I update my phone from 4.2.2 to 4.4 directly ?! I flashed version 4.2.2 for India market. Eventually, thanks for all the things you've done for Xperia ZR users. :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
Seriously my battery is bad now

I think it's defective

I never get 5h screen on

Whatever I do

Even browsing can't do that
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
Thanks for reporting, i'll look into it and tell you if i found any fix/workaround for the keyboard lag.. it's really annoying

As far as i know, the update comes to your device not by the region you're accessing the internet from, it comes for the region for your device serial number

so i don't think that this issue is related to the different region software update, have you tried to factory reset your device ?

Yes you can, if you'd like to flash the 4.4 directly from 4.2 you just have to follow the steps by Thibou in this Thread

it's so simple, you have to root your device, Flash Custom Recovery, and now you're ready.. just flash the 4.4 with the steps "If you have LB with 4.2/4.3 and Recovery or UB"

feel free to send me pm if you need any help for rooting/installing recovery..etc :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] Technoboi:
My issue isn't with the update being available yet...is whether or not it will solve the Wifi issue I described...or if there is another solution currently.
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
Yes you can But I recommend you to root your friend's phone with vroot and backup his TA partition

And use a pre_rooted software

Here is some news from Sony Mobile about the battery drain problem

Source
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
I already done that :(
[Sony Xperia ZR] nikhilkaushik:
K know it's annoying but I'm not reporting the lag issue. I mean I am confirming the lag issue as well as telling you another issue that somehow happens to be related to the keyboard app. May be because of the new location of the keyboard apk that is priv-apps in root. It might be something to do with it.try even force stopping the keyboard and your navigation back button would jam, you would be able to press it but nothing would happen. Try it.
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
We hope we don't have to re-download an FTF for 4.4.2 with another branding again ..

BTW Can anyone try to make a nandroid backup of the /system from NUT's recovery and tell me if it was working
[Sony Xperia ZR] lanahonest:
I have no problem about it.

but I have a problem with the headphone that is always connected when I did not connect it...!!!???
[Sony Xperia ZR] dantpe:
I think I may have found the solution to the Google Play services power drain problem, I’ve had both Scanning always available and Location Reporting enabled for the past 13+ hours and Google Play services have only consumed 3% of my battery.

I didn’t come up with it, it was shared by Mario Gaudet in the comments section on blogs.sonymobile.com

I followed it step by step and it worked. Hope it helps others, too. Good luck!

“SOLUTION for the battery drain issue caused by Google Play Services:

I’m not here to defend Google nor Sony, however the issue is due to a bug that only exists between Google software and third party software like Sony or any other for that matter (that uses location to track your phone if you lose it for example…)

Anyway, the solution is relatively simple:

1- Settings -> Apps -> All -> Google Play Services

2- Clear cache

3- Click Manage Space, then Clear all data

4- Back, disable, it will ask you to revert to older version, say YES

If you have Uninstall Updates, do it.

If it says you can’t disable because of administrators, click manage administrators and deselect the softwares (for me there were 3, one of them is Sony My Xperia, I disabled it)

5- Once disabled, restart Xperia phone

6- You may notice errors etc…, its ok, its only temporary

7- Once rebooted, go again to apps, and enable Google Play Services

8- If the phone says you need to update Google Play Services, Update and you are good to go, if not, open Hangouts, and it will tell you to update…

9- Once the update is complete, you are done.

10- Make sure you have your location service enabled (because you may have disabled it in the past to preserve battery)

That’s it. I did it on several devices, Xperia ZL 4.4.2, Galaxy S4 4.4.2 and Nexus 5 4.4.2, and it fixed the battery issue on all of them."

[Sony Xperia ZR] Dr.Den:

[Sony Xperia ZR] puppynaz:
I flashed this just last evening and got amazing results. I was very disappointed with the UI lag, even enabling Force GPU Rendering didn't help at first. I rebooted twice after the initial startup and still. I rebooted the 3rd time just now and it worked! The UI feels smoother than ever (not as smooth as 4.3) and usable. The only annoyances is the notification drawer is not so smooth, the lockscreen bug where you swipe to unlock and wait for 2-3 seconds for the homescreen to show up and the camera where it takes 2-3 seconds to start and 2-3 seconds to open the menu.

Battery life is much better, compared to what people are complaining on the Z/ZL/ZR forums. I'll post results soon. I'm not using it so much because of my exams, but I think the hard usage which is posted in the OP is just like mine. ;) So the OP poster can add my battery stats to the OP, which is minimal usage.

Edit:

I'm not a calling person, though, so I don't have stats for calling. :D I'm usually a hard-user because I play 'Asphalt 8' and 'Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff' a lot. But for a change this is what I could get. ;) Add this to the OP [MENTION=5076961]DoO37[/MENTION] :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
The problem that i can't post normal/lite usage is that i'm a hard battery user all the time..

So if you can post some screenshots for your battery usage, i'll add it to OP for sure ;)

Battery drain solved.

I installed xposed framework, downloaded a module which is not available in the repository of Xposed, named as wakelock terminator. Added it in xposed, activated it and restarted it. Then added google play services in the terminator and restarted again. The problem got solved.

Then later I installed Google play services 5.0 and removed the google play services from wakelock detector and uninstalled the wakelock detector.

Finally synopses :- I am on latest google play services and google search and no wakelocks and battery drain issues. ;) :good:

Ota will fail if you try it on rooted Rom. I tried but cannot install via Ota as I was rooted. Ota downloads data but installation fails. If you are rooted then pc companion is the only option. You can root again using towelroot again.

Notes Widget issue

Thanks for the review [MENTION=5076961]DoO37[/MENTION].

One issue I noticed in 4.4.2 is with the Notes Widget. The widget shows the contents of the note in focus. But when I switch notes in the widget, I see a blank note. I have to swipe to change to different homescreen and back to the one with widget to see the contents of the note.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Any known solutions or tips?

Do you recommend to upgrade or should I rather wait for the next update? Because 4.3 is running quite good...

But i dont think you should be affected by the bug if you dont use maps, g-now and keep location reporting off.
