[Sony Smartwatch 2] ag123:
hi i'm a new to smartwatch 2 dev and have some questions, hope someone could enlighten

while i'm still trying to learn the framework

apparently the smart extensions api basically have

Control and Widget as programmable objects / mini-frameworks

https://developer.sony.com/referenc...onyericsson/extras/liveware/aef/widget/Widget

https://developer.sony.com/referenc...yericsson/extras/liveware/aef/control/Control

from the documentation it seem to indicate that the apps actually run on the phone and the 'host application' *sends* - bitmaps , layouts, lists to the smartwatch via bluetooth say, hence, if bluetooth is disconnected or switched off the app basically stop running (at least on the smartwatch).

Q:

1) app runs on phone and beam data (screen, layouts, events) to-from watch via bluetooth

it is correct to say that this 'smart extension' app runs on the *phone* and communicates with smartwatch 2 via bluetooth (sending screen updates etc & with bidirectional comm, e.g. the responses)

this is very inefficient and *eats battery* if that's true and it would not be possible to run the app if bluetooth is disconnected.

2) local apps on smartwatch 2

can the app run locally on the smartwatch 2 itself (i.e. no comms, bluetooth is *disconnected*, disabled) and basically as a local app on the smartwatch 2? how could that be achieved (using the same control & widget classes? needs 'active low power'?

(this is important so that apps can run locally basically using the smartwatch as a platform on its own, independent of the phone or other remote devices, saving battery etc as well)

thanks much in advance
[Sony Smartwatch 2] micklesbox:
Hi!

Basically smartwatch 2 - is an additional screen to display information from the phone through the BT. If there is no communication on the clock, you can only see the notification came earlier and run local programs. These programs (flashlight, alarm clock, etc.) are built into the firmware and can not create such a program. There are off-line clock and date. There's a picture or a font loaded in the hours, and then they are schami countdown.

As a result, if you make your plug-in, it is necessary to optimize (reduce) the exchange of information, hours and phone to save battery power.

Sorry for my English.)))
[Verizon LG G3] moefosho:
Just bought a G3 off contract to replace my beloved S4. I use FoxFi on a regular basis and there was a pretty simple work around which allowed me to use the application without requiring a pin for my lockscreen. I tried to do the same work around with the G3 to no avail. Has anyone been able to use foxfi without having a lockscreen?

Thanks

[Sony Xperia ZR] Vtrendzzy:
Hello fello xda users.

I'm in this forum since i've bought xperia u. Now i'm thinking of buying xperia zr. Why? It is old, right? Then why?

I'm buying this device because it is low budget with great specifications phone. But before going further, I want to know what's the actual deal with this phone. Is it really worth buying? How is the 8GB rom memory divided into? In xperia u it is 8GB with no memory card slot. 4GB internal sd card, 2GB for installing apps and hidden 2GB for system. Is it the exact way of division in this phone also? Give me your thoughts please. :)

Other options are also appreciated.
[Sony Xperia ZR] zeanor:
Well I won't and can't tell should you buy this phone. What I can tell you is that it has battery that can be changed and trust me it can be great plus. Also it's specification is of a very good and powerfull phone, and it is story for it self.

From those 8 gb I had 4.59 free to use as I like. Also you have SD slot for 32 Gb card, honestly I have seen somewhere that someone is using 64 Gb card (I can't confirm this so better don't do it)...so with no apps to sd, without rooting your phone, it is enough for normal use, but for serious gaming it is not enough. Now I would recomend PS4, Xbox One or PC for gaming but that is me (no offence). If you root your phone other possibilities open to you.

Also word of advice-be very carefull with sim card slot as it is very easy to brake as it is like tray. Also buy screen protector right away as ASF(anti shater film) can be scratched by looking at it:cyclops: Really buy it as fast as you can.

Few days ago I had over 25k in antutu benchmark with stock 4.4.4 Xperia ZR and people here tell me that with root and "better" kernel and rom I could get over 30k. Those are very good results...as I understand :)

Camera is 13.1 Mpx and it is really good. My opinion is that if you need better you can buy digital photoaparat and use that :p

It's price is also something to think about but shouldn't be crucial moment in choosing as there is other phones in this price range with specification lile Xperia ZR.

So my opinion very good phone that has few things I wanted so I picked it.

Anyway I hope I helped and good luck in your choice.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
phone is good but lack some features of its elder sibling Z and ZL. it should have been given 16GB of internal memory like other two.

Also front camera is very poor quality VGA whereas Z has 2.2 MP.

Z and ZL have almost identical features except one is so called "waterproof" and dust proof and one is not.

The only negative that I have seen with ZL is its camera performance is below average though lenses are same on all three. dont know why :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZR] paulson881:
I agree with the first reply, the most important benefit of this phone is replaceable battery.

As this phone is over 2 years old, most buy it now because of custom rom possibilities, and be able to easily reverse is valuable for beginners of flashing.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Aniruddha10:
I also bought this phone just a few months back due to it being cheap. There is about 4.6GB available for use for the 8gb rom.

The problem is without root you cannot put apps on the sd-card so that might be an issue if you plan on having a lot of apps and heavy games.

This phone is great, just that issue, the front camera ain't great but it's fine for me. Battery life is okay but can be greatly improved with root. Otherwise this phone is really good.
[Sony Xperia ZR] paulson881:
and, it MIGHT be able to upgrade to 5.0!,
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
I wish Sony had given 16GB internal memory to ZR also and at least 2MP front cam
[Sony Xperia ZR] zeanor:
Actually it will get lollipop update.Whole Z line will get android 5.0

Last news was that Z3,Z2,Z1 are getting it officialy in first part of february, so I guess Z,ZL and us will get it in the second part or march.
[Android Themes] bynarie:
Most of the guides ive read on XDA say you have to decompile and recompile APKS just to make a couple of modifications to the images. Well I dont believe this to be true. I have tested my method on ubuntu 14.10 and with my nexus 5.

This guide is specifically for modifying images inside of the apks, not the code, or xml itself.

- ADB pull the APK file you want to modify (i chose SystemUI.apk)

- Double click it in File Manager on ubuntu, this should open it up in the archive manager. If not, manually open it up in archive manager

- Click on the "Add Files" button and select which files you want to replace. It will automatically overwrite the current ones.

- Make sure that you are keeping the proper directory structure and are putting the images in the proper place with proper names.

- Copy the new APK file back to your device on /sdcard/file.apk

Then, to get the APK file back on your system without causing problems, I rebooted into TWRP, mounted system and went into the file manager and copy/pasted the APK in the appropriate folder. When you get back into android, chmod 644 new-file.apk. I would not suggest trying to copy the modified APK file into your system while android is running live. Thats why I did it in TWRP. It could cause system unstability, crashing, etc... Im sure that I am not the first person to realize this could be done, but I did discover this on my own because I like to try things. PLEASE, make a backup in case something doesnt work correctly after your mod. Good luck!
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
Mine doesn't.
[Android Themes] bynarie:
Um, not to be rude but the guide on your signature shows using apktool to decompile and recompile. Soo....? Unless its another guide. And Im not saying ALL guides are, but some, and thats ok. Could you link me to your guide please? I would love to take a look at it. Thanks

EDIT - woops im sorry i didnt really read it... i do see where it says drag and drop the images... good deal. sorry
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
Edit: No need for my original reply as you found it.
[Android Themes] bynarie:
Yes, and your guide is very good. Thank you for that.
[Sony Xperia M2] MazeGen:
I've just got D2403 with KitKat 4.4.4. I wanted to switch the runtime to ART. Although I know where this option should be located, it seems to be missing on this phone. Is there any trick how to enable it, or have Sony decided to remove ART competely?
[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
I've tried that when I got my Xperia M2, but, nothing come up. I believe that they disabled the ART Cache Runtime 'cause it wasn't fully developed. They included into Lollipop 5.0 Binaries which is fully based on it. So, you could try flash the Lollipop binaries if you want to enjoy ART Cache Runtime (?)

I noticed this from the very beginning but it never actually bothered me that much to do anything about it. The Microphone has a very low Volume, for the Hotword Detection I actually have to put my Mouth in front of the screen to work. Also noticeably in Videos or Voice Recordings, or Skype Chats. I found this topic over at Reddit and seems like I'm not alone http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus9/comments/2rgsnk/nexus_9_microphone_sensitivityvolume_very_low/

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjorno43:
Ok so yesterday I've bought myself a "Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 23.0.1.A.5.77". Now I would like to root this device and probebly flash a custom ROM over it. So I started doing my research because I'm used flashing Samsung Galaxy S3 only.

So here's what happens:

1) To be able to root and/or flash your device, you must unlock your bootloader.

2) Unlocking your boatloader will cause the loss of your TA DATA / DRM keys. If you don't want to lose these permanently, please make backups first.

3) To backup your TA, it is required to root your device first.

And so we end up back on step 1 again. I hope any of you can understand my confusion and please point me into the right direction / threads to do this the correct way. Thanks in advance!:highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, that is the current situation.

Normally what you want is this

1) Root using a locked bootloader method

2) Backup TA

3) Unlock bootloader

4) Flash custom kernel/ROM

The problem we have is that there is NO way to root on a locked bootloader ATM for the Z3. So you have to unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnannetti:
I have exactly the same situation... Ex user of a galaxy s3 and now using a Z3 Dual D6633...for now I'm waiting to see if something is possible...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It is not possible until there is root for a locked bootloader.

I am now unconvinced this will happen as Lollipop is 1-2 months away. It makes no sense to work on locked bootloader root for our current phones. (this is just my opinion, it may still happen)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjorno43:
Thanks for the info! Guess it's best to wait for better methods first. And ye, I agree. With Lollipop comming out anytime soon, it's best to wait for that.

Hi, is there any way to write to ext. rom??

i want too make an personal ext rom ... but when i want to delte something i became an access denied...

please help
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
I think the only way to be able to write to the ext rom is to make a bs rom. If my memory serves me right, i believe there is an unlock tool for the ext rom.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] lanuk79:
u cant write to ext ROM. a big storgae simply removes the files already in Ext ROM thereby freeing up more space in the memory.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] lanuk79:
method for seeing ext ROM:

Download Resco Explorer or Total Commander (cos you will need either these 2 program to enable "Reveal all files"

To unhide the Extended ROM, after you reveal all files, go to your File Explorer (Start, Programs, File Explorer)

Using the File Explorer, go to Windows folder and find this file called LoadVDisk.exe and then just run the file

Next, using File Explorer again, and go to \My Device and you should see the Extended ROM folder

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sparksd:
Ouch on that Incipio price - $89.95. For that you could buy 8 phone batteries with 4 chargers:

http://www.amazon.com/Capable-Batteries-T-Mobile-18-Month-Warranty/dp/B00Q4NQQA0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421443171&sr=8-3&keywords=note+4+battery

I have a couple of 13000 and 15000mah external battery chargers but they aren't Quick Charge capable.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] shawnpuerto:
yeah, that's a little pricey for what it is...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dbpaddler:
If I get a little more disposable cash, I'd consider putting a minimum quantity order in and sell a few to those on here at cost plus shipping. It's worthwhile to resell if you can beat other sellers to the punch and make a penny. Once these become commodity and the prices drop, it's not worth it unless you're a big time seller. The profit per piece usually cuts it close for the time you invest fulfilling orders and dealing with problem ones. I got hosed on Note 2 cases a couple years ago where the cases were crap. One drop and the Note would pop out. Couldn't get the seller to take them back, and I didn't feel comfortable selling them knowing I'd get complaints (if it happened to me on multiple occasions.) Still have them. Might just unload them cheap when I get around to it.

With the QC options out there, I wouldn't buy a battery or charger that didn't have one QC port on it at this point. Funny, all the people wanting their wireless charging. I'll take QC any day.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sparksd:
Going back to the cheaper option approach - you can get the Anker charger plus two extra batteries for $25.00 and this Anker 10,000mAh external battery for $23.00:

http://www.amazon.com/Compact-10000mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B009USAJCC/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1422131778&sr=1-4&keywords=anker+power+bank

Swap out batteries and use the external battery pack plus the charger to charger the spares. Charging won't be as fast as Quick Charge but hey, it's on the spares. For $48.00 you have a whole heck of a lot of spare juice available. And there are higher capacity but pricier external batteries available.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dbpaddler:
I have the OEM charger and spare battery. I keep it in the center console charged. If I need to I swap and let the dead one charge. If I have a heavy day and can't charge I grab the charged spare. I use a pack to charge other things when needed and once in a while the phone. So if I were to replace it, it would be with one with a QC option. Not everyone is buying a battery pack specifically for the phone, but if your going to buy one, why not have the QC option? It's also less time you're tethered to a charger when needed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Giuseppe1010:
I was able to obtain a small quantity of MP5200Q Quick Charge 2.0 battery bank directly from the manufacturer. I am keeping a couple and selling the rest for cost plus fees.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
Hi guys,

so one thing has been bothering me since I plugged my earphones into my Z1C - the sound quality. I used to own a Walkman mp3 player and I loved its sound quality, but it's less than half of that in my phone. I don't get as many bass if any at all when using crystal clear sound or whatever it's called. If I manually turn the bass down, it increases by a small amount, but the overall sound quality goes down significantly. Is this a common problem? (or a problem at all?) What do you think? Do you enjoy your music experience or do you try to fight it? Is there any way to make music sound better without installing any 3rd party players?

Have a nice day.

On every single AOSP/AOKP rom I've used since rooting my phone almost 3 years ago, I haven't been able to use data transfering over USB cable. If I connect the phone to my PC, it starts charging like it should, but I never get a prompt on the phone to enable Mass Storage, and no removable storage/devices are visible in Explorer. Is this normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong, maybe some option I haven't enabled in Settings?

I'm currently running NeatRom.

Also, where can I find some modems/basebands for my phone, which are compatible with Android Kitkat 4.4.4.?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Are the correct drivers installed. Have you installed the samsung USB mobile drivers? Check in device manager to confirm if you have or haven't got the correct drivers. Is there a mount storage option in the rom? If not, try rebooting into recovery and it should auto-mount the storages and your pc should pick up your phone, if not, your phone'a micro USB port has a damaged pin.
