Hello [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

I have an issue i am sure its not related to the rom as nobody else report it just need a support from specialist

Since i got the z2 i did root and flashed existenz

From time to time i lose network signal

Some time its looks full and there is no signal

And some other time looks no signal at all

Anyhow restarting the phone solve the problem

Yesterday it was no signal at all and restarting doesn't make sense, even clean cach, i lose signal specially when i am moving and use mobile data

Now its working again without doings anything

Do u think guys should i check with warranty or should i flash something or do something will solve that
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niaboc79:
This is normal.

When you are moving the phone must switch from an antenna to an other quickly. The signal can be lost.

I have same thing when I am in the train and using data.

Same thing when I am at a place where there are a few hundreds of people using data. Signal is full but no data or really slow due to antennas saturated.

Hi!

First, thanks Niaboc for this gorgeous ROM!

I've got a little problem.

I don't understand what is happening, but there is no way for me to synchronize my contacts and my agenda with Google.

When I firstly made a clean install with 4.5, everythings seem to work like a charm. But after a while, I notice that my agenda was not upto date.

after some investigations, I found that the sync apk for contacts and agenda was not installed on the phone (!). so I extracted them from the zip of the ROM, push them to the correct folder with permissions, and restarted the phone. the applications were thus installed, but seemed inactives.

When I go to account>google, I cannot sync contacts or agenda... those lines do not exists.

So I restarted AROMA installer after wipe of cache and dalvik, and the exact same happened.

So the sync apps are there, but they are unactives...

Is there a way to get these sync back, or should I redo a clean install?

Thanks for advices

Double Tap to Sleep on Lockscreen pattern

Hi Guys!

Love your work and really appreciate the things you do.

But is there a way to get a "Double tap to sleep" on the Lockscreen?

I got it managed to do it through Gravitybox and choosing the "swipe" Option in the Security Unlock mechanism.

But it would be great if I could use that on the "Pattern" Option too, so i can double tap anywhere (or on one of the pattern fields) to get the phone to "sleep".

Thanks for your help in advance.

So I'd like a way to get rid of this ring.

I love this mod! Please excuse me while I familiarize, I'm fairly green to modding fones and using this app on your message board ;)

I'm on a D6503 (Bell, CA) baseband .55

Everything in my handset functions 100% as OEM. Rooted, custom recovery partition installed, loaded your package, process was fast and smooth as butter the whole way :)

Runs awesome! Love the functionality and features but... Just before I imaged my flash (in case **** happens;) I tested the mobile data, and it's a no go :(

No mobile data. Everything else works. WiFi, BT, Voice - Working.

I flashed back to OEM.ftf... Mobile data working.

Flashed .167.ftf... Mobile data working.

Flashed .314.ftf... Mobile data working.

Flashed eXistenZ and mobile data not working again :(

I've searched and searched for others with the same problem but I've turned up nothing.

Can someone please help! This software package was my last resort before I ditch this fone. I'd hate to but with this damn locked bootloader, without eXistenZ running in it, it's useless garbage. This hardware is the poorest utilized, stellar hardware I've encountered to date. Please help! :D

Fix the Walkman fc by deleting the semc.overlay-300.apk from the system... If you can't delete, freeze it and uninstall it with 3Ctoolbox or Android Tuner.

The system won't let you delete the overlay if it's running, so either kill it first or you have to freeze it.

Bug: Issue with android.process.media

This is not a bug exclusive to your ROM but an Android bug in general relating to android.process.media

I was having this problem on both my Z1 and Z2 after the upgrade to 4.4.4 and I cured it initally by downgrading via flashtool to 4.4.2 on both devices and then permanently on the z1 by installing iHackers ROM which had a workaround, I was hoping to cure it on the Z2 with your ROM but unfortunately the bug remains.

The issue in question is that after a reboot (at any point after the initial install) any music app becomes completely unusable (Walkman, GMusic etc etc) they completely freeze up and I can't select any songs etc, then the phone would eventually reboot itself.

On the stock fw I could see that after each reboot there were hundreds of instances of "android.process.media" errors in the logs (over 800!) - I could fixthis issue by clearing the cache on "Media Storage" however this is not optimal as the phone then takes ages to rebuild my music library and after rebooting my phone, or running out of power, I have to repeat all the above again.

I googled it and apparently it not only affects the Xperia range but nearly all phones on 4.4.4

The info online suggested reflashing 4.4.2 or find a custom ROM with a fix (such as iHackers on the Z1)

General speculation is the issue has something to do with the size of media on ext SD cards, I have 128GB card with a lot of music on there (most of which is lossless) so this seems to follow the pattern.

To test I wiped the 128GB card and put just a few albums on there and it was fine after numerous reboots, as soon as I put all my music back on (68GB) it faulted out again.

I was wondering if it would be possible for you to look at including a work around in your ROM for this fault similar to whatever it was iHackers implemented for their Z1 rom? I understand it may not be within your scope for this ROM as it would only affect a handful of users but thought I'd see if you were willing! :)

As it doesn't affect 4.4.2 I can always reflash that but I like your ROM so much it would be a shame to loose a lot of the features :(

Thanks for reading

Your problem is NOT a problem at all...it's user error...this is happening on nearly all phones with 128gig microSD because nearly all the hardware only supports 64gig. Change your microSD to one within range of the limitation and your media players will work just fine.

Format it in the phone...betcha it only gives you 64 gig ;) I ran into your exact problem 2 years ago with my Samsung Galaxy tablet and my 64 gig cards. It could read and write the card, but it would nuke the cards contents at will and would only format 32 gig of the card (Samsung Galaxy limitation)

Regardless of who tell you what, do a backup, it'll get you out of a big mess fast. Also, you'd best outfit yourself with all the .ftf's you'll need for your fone cuz you might need those too.

The hardware limitation is 64gig.

Use exfat. I've only ever used the ext4 native to 1/1 image a local volume.
