I have the same issue. I used stream music from this app but now nada. Have submitted a few feedbacks but no response. Guess either it's not a priority or there's some licence issue from China letting European users listen to music for free. Hell even download it.

Hello I own a Nokia 220 Dual Sim

Unfortunately it does not have Greek (the language I use) and I would like to flash my country firmware but I do not know how and where do I download my country firmware

Here you go:

http://nokia-flashfiles.blogspot.in/2014/11/nokia-220-dual-sim-rm-969-flash-file_7.html?m=1

It's Greek. However, I would not recommend you to flash the FW unless you know how to do it

Also make sure that the variant's RM version matches with that of yours.

Google to know how to flash Nokia phones.
[General Questions and Answers] MariosFFX:
Thanks for the firmware.

Please can you also help me out finding the correct flash tool? there are many and some require a USB dongle to be purchased

I followed steps from this video(https://www*youtube*com/watch?v=I5U...a5dnPghzI&annotation_id=annotation_3822850285) to flash all image files to my nexus 5 one by one. Since then it has been rebooting again and again. My phone is rooted. It was earlier on android 5.0.1 and i was attempting to update it to 5.1. What should i do now?
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery. That should fix your problem. Also see this, http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/resource-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527 There's much better information there than some random you tube video.

Don't forget to register on XDA.

Hi guys!

I created this thread to those who wants to say goodbye and thanks to the armani community. :D You can post here the device you're moving on to and you can also give special thanks to the devs and other members who helped you.

Since the redmi 2 is released and I know some of you will upgrade to redmi 2 or other newer device.

PS: Sorry for my bad english. :angel:

Hi guys! It's been a week now since I sold my redmi 1s. I would like to thank all the devs expecially the Armani devs. and the supporters of this device.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeeuyz@foxmail.com:
Maybe someone think that it is funny for a galaxy grand 2 which can only run Android 4.3 rather than Android 4.4 or higher version.

Don't be surprise= = It was a device customized by China Mobile with TD-LTE supported.

I don't know why Samsung don't provide system update for G7108V.But I believe that there are many G7108V user like me disere for new version of Android.

I know it's impossible for Samsung to provide new version of Android because G7108V is a low-profit product,it saled for about 1200CNY (about $200) now in China.

So I want to find out the way to get new version of Android.I know it must be a hard process.And I need some one to help me or tell me how to do?Maybe the first step is port the clockworkmod recovery to G7108V?

Sorry for my poor English.Thanks~

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
The ZU is nearing its 2 year birthday, I've had mine for about 8 months now. So far I have been more than happy with it, although I do have to say I'm quite disappointed with the build quality. To be more specific, the paint job of the aluminium/plastic parts. It literally starts to fall off/rub away, whereas I still baby my ZU. This puzzles me and tells me there is nothing brushed about the 'aluminum (is it plastic?), just an ordinary paint job. Also, I've noticed that the material is rather weak, getting dents easily.

What is your experience concerning the wear & tear of this device?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
I must agree that the paint of the aluminium parts is rather weak, my 5 months old ZU already got some of it torn. In addition it gets easily bended, when I put my phone on a table or sth the right bottom corner is like 1mm over the surface. And it scratches a lot, especially the back, seriously I'm only putting it in or from the pocket with no keys or anything and it looks like some really angry cat wanted to play with it. However the front is untouched, despite using pencil a lot to navigate, but the oleophobic coating have gone just after a month and because of it random touches appears. Aparr from these, I have no complaints and sorry for my English, not my native lang ;)

I bought my second Z Ultra today :(

The screen on my July 2013 ZU broke with my thighs pressure while I was driving. I thought it was safe but it cracked.

Service centre in India wanted Rs. 10400 to replace screen. Grey market Rs. 8000. And it would lose waterproofing after replacement. New Z Ultra is Rs. 18500. So I bought my second ZU today (Feb 15 make)

Last time a Leather cover was given free but this time its DK30 magnetic dock which is good. I will keep check on price for screen and when it drops I will replace my broken ZUs screen and gift it to my wife who is using my old Note 1 :P

My new ZU is on 4.4.4 so I am thinking if I should upgrade to Lollipop or not. I dont like Lollipop. I used it on Moto E2 and it looks crap.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I have two Ultra and both are in mint condition. No scratches, nothing. Not a single noticeable defect. They move along in cases but still. Have not experienced any denting or anything else that would put them in a worse position so I am perfectly happy with the quality.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
I think mine is just over a year old now

Tons of scratches on the back, and some on the front (i don't use a case or screen protector)

I've got it running the latest slimkat and I've got no complaints with regards to this OS

Might be moving onto the Samsung s6
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I use a book style cover to protect mine, and it's still in quite good condition. I reckon on having to buy a new cover every 4 months as the plastic frame which holds the ZU cracks or breaks, particularly at the corner where the USB socket is present and there's not enough plastic to be strong.

There's a ding on the corner near the USB connector where I dropped it and the case's missing plastic wasn't able to protect it.

I haven't removed the anti-shatter plastic film on front or back. You can't see the fine pattern of scratches on the front when the phone is turned on. Sometimes I clean the screen with a slightly damp towel, and if I rub hard it polishes out the scratches a bit.

Battery life is still good, I don't think it's diminished too much. Sony have always had good battery technology (apart from when they had exploding laptop batteries!).

Overall then my XZU has been a good phone and I've had good value out of it as I use it all the time - I don't have a tablet, I go straight for a laptop if I need to do proper work.

The XZU is my phone, ebook reader, email reader, news reader, podcast & music player, GPS mapper, instant messaging console (G hangouts), shopping assistant (checking prices in shops with barcode scanner), movie viewer (netflix), chromecast controller (netflix) and occasionally acts as a game console.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coilbio:
My backplate cracked so I used the extended warranty I bought with the phone to fix it.

Sony said they couldn't replace it because its discontinued so they bought out my warranty and phone for the total amount I paid. So I got a free ultra basically.

I fixed the backplate myself. I'd really like to fix the faux aluminum edges. They sell them online but u don't want to go in blind and dissect my phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andre Verissimo:
Almost mint here (everything is perfect except that the screen ASF is shinning just a little less than the back one) after eight months. I have two cases, the plastic one I use 95% of the time and the Krusell leather book one that I only use when I think I need an extra protection.

USB protective flap

The Z Ultra has one of the best build qualities IMHO:good: . I do not have a scratch, paint job issue etc. Only problem I had after a year of use was the USB protective flap:crying:. Until it was ok, I used to wash the phone whenever it got dirty. Although the usb protective flap is available on ebay, I'm skeptical about opening, fearing it might lose the original build. If anyone has any ideas - please share.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
I put screen protector on my replacement XZU when the one I purchased was replaced under warranty. Only problem is stuff building up in the cracks; dirt, dust, etc. builds up in the cracks of the body, and I HATE that. I also have the ? lens attachment case that I leave on all the time, where the two upper corners have cracked off.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I don't think you have to dissect your phone for the USB flap only.

Just buy a new one on eBay and replace it by fitting the string attached into its hole. ?

Edit: to stay in topic, my Ultra is a D1 unit, exchanged like one month later for another brand new under warranty, and it's been y daily driver since.

Paint have come off of 3 out of 4 corners, but other than that, the phone is pristine.

You should see my old GS3 (which now has my mother in law): all plastic-aluminum-painted edges are broken in several points, there's no paint on the on/off button anymore, plastic back cracked... ?

Overall, I'm super happy and my phone is still as elegant as was when I first opened the box. ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bigl34461:
My screen got hairline cracks twice. Sony repaired it free under the warranty. I also purchased 3 off ebay with cracked screens for under $100 each. I got them repaired through sony for free. $$$$
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Ahahah this is super cool! I wonder how did you manage to have them exchanged without warranty???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bigl34461:
The phones happened to still be under warranty. When Sony asked for the receipt I just showed them the ebay receipt. I didn't think they would repair it, but they did......4 times....?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
That's not only luck, you're the luckiest man alive when it comes to warranties...!

I mean, like 8 out of 10 have all kinds of problems with warranty, you're the live exception! ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adilovesrolls:
the usb flap is one easy replacemnt. just pull out the existing one neatly just a little pressure, make sure to hold the extension plastic that connects to the flap rather than the flap itself. When you get the replacement just insert the new replacement the same way you pulled out the old one:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gauthamsv:
I ordered the flap of eBay and replaced it as per your instructions. Jiffy - my ZU is back to being new. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cashif:
Have been using Z Ultra for almost 1.5 years now but this is my 3rd Ultra. First one was silver color and I used it for about a year and since the paint in the side had peeled off, sold it and bought Lumia 1520 but screen was not upto my satisfaction (Size-wise), so again bought Z ultra Black color. Unfortunately, within a week, my kid threw moto360 and it fell on the ZU screen, it cracked and touch is not working (Thank God, nothing happened to Moto360). I Checked with Sony as it was hardly a week old but since it was physical damage, they said it will cost around $200 to replace the screen:(

Instead of that, I went and bought a new one for around ˜ $250 during Christmas offer. It has slight scratches on the back as I dont like to use back protection while the front is in pristine condition. Eagerly waiting for p8Max/LeTV Max now, provided it is in my budget!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
I'm with you there, don't rule out the Mediapad X2 either ;) There is a plastic film on the back, which you can easily peel off. Try it out :) You can stick on a tempered glass sheet on there easily afterwards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cashif:
Thanks but wouldnt 'Sony' logo come off as well if I were to remove the plastic film?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Nope, only the front logo comes off. No worries.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PloniAlmoni:
If you take off Sony's film you do void your warranty...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
That's not true, Sony confirmed it will NOT void warranty.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PloniAlmoni:
Do you have a source for that? Link? I saw in reviews that this was the case.

OK, it looks like Sony is giving different messages to different people. It does look like there's at least a chance it won't void your warranty though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
It shouldn't, I had to cut a hole in the screen protector area sensor near the earpiece carefully with a scalpel due to black screen not responding during active phone calls! I didn't want to lose the SONY logo as people always ask "what kind of phone is that?" This was back in Dec. 2014 and Sony refused to cover it saying that it was out of warranty! After reading numerous post on Multiple sites including xda, I just tried removing that area of the screen protector, and sure enough I haven't had that black screen of death during calls since! Faulty screen protectors = bad consumer experience...:mad::mad:

XZU - The perfect phablet

As i was reading the comments about the poor build quality of the device i have to say that i must disagree with this. I had my phone for about an year now and i am very very happy with it. I honestly have no complaints except the lack of a flash for the rear camera. The device is a powerhouse even now and it looks just amazing. Since i bought it I've dropped it at least 5-6 times from about 1 meter or less and the device looks as new ( no damage at all to the device ). Except that one time when i dropped it on tarmac when i was getting out of the car and it landed on the top right corner and got damaged a bit ( just a scratch that you can feel with your hand). Overall i must say the build quality is excellent. I am using it without any covers or bumpers. I've just installed a front and a back screen protector ( it's advertised as military grade protection but come on ... really ? ). The paint on the aluminium is the same as i bought it. Absolutely no signs of wear( even on the damaged corner - no peel offs).

There is one strange thing that I've come across recently. When i open any sound recording app and start recording the phone hangs for about 20-30 second and if you wait it actually starts recording after all. Very strange. Anyone familiar with this problem ? Also there was a time when i had a strange bug with tethering. The thing was when i press to start tethering it loops through on and off state and i couldn't stop it ( I've tried pressing on the icon again to stop it and tried going through Settings but no success ). Only restarting the phone helps fix the problem. Happily this bug disappeared by itself in time.

So this is my experience with the phone/tablet :) If you are thinking of buying one ... don't thing too much just buy it ! :) SONY >> others

Cheers !

Earphone port broke already

I had it for about four months about a montha go started using bluetooth earphones cause they were easier to usea tthe gym caus ethe zu will fall out of my gym shorts or get hit by weights.

With the bluetooth earbuds i left the phone on the floor and it worked well. Fast forward a few weeks and I go to use the speakers in my bathroom and one side doesnt work. The port for earphones got too loose and they wont stick i have no clue what to do and had to resort to using my bluetooth ear buds again

Kind of crappy cause i have phones that still work fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diji1:
Can't recall exactly when I purchased my XZU - 1.5 years ago maybe.

Was happy with wear and tear for perhaps half of its time I had it - no protection at all and I only noticed 1 small scratch on the screen. The back also got scratched.

However then the headphone jack went screwy: with almost no force at all - the headphone cable swinging a little bit only is enough - the headset disconnects enough to pause anything unless it's set otherwise. very annoying.

Very recently the USB port cover stopped "locking" in flush with the case and hangs loose.

More recently still, 2 weeks ago or something, I had a small, very visible crack occur mysteriously on the screen. Phone is functional still but looks ugly.

I have decided I will probably never buy another Sony Mobile device though because it doesn't matter about any other aspect of the device to me (and there's certainly a LOT to like about the XZU) - the phantom input issue plagued me for the entire life of the device. Probably I'm an extreme case as far as this issue because I work out hard most days with my phone but this one issue led me to seriously HATE the device. It's insidious ... I can sit there and watch the phone doing things all by itself in a random manner so potentially it can do ANYTHING and this means the device is a timebomb: imagine images being sent to the wrong person, txts sending themselves. Anything ... aside from the personal THREAT to me aspect which I shouldn't have from a mobile device it also saps the users confidence in using the GUI (eg. you touch somewhere and nothing happens because another random touch occurs), screws up games by pressing the wrong button and just generally makes me feel like trhwoing the device at a brick wall. Which i may well do when it finally gives up the ghost.

Sorry for what turned into a rant but I feel nowhere near enough was said about the issue - it wrecked the device for me. Sony knew about it and has continued using the same hardware with the same issues right up to at least the Xperia M. They knew of the issue three generations of device ago and didn't fix it. I've never had these issues with any other device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wingswrath:
This happened to me too, around 2 months after purchase. Dropped it once/twice with earphone plugged in and now its way too loose. Any small jiggle triggers the speakers or pauses the media.

The corners and edges on the ZU has also begun to wear showing the matte metal/plastic underneath.

I think my speakers have also accumulated too much gunk from dunking it in water too much causing bad audio (even worse then it originally is).

Lastly, the metal side (the one that covers the USB and magnetic charger) is slowly peeling off my device.

Took off the Sony logo on the front on the device instantly and i haven't looked back (use my phone naked).

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the overall build quality except for the earphone jack given the amount of abuse done to the phone.

My wishlist for the next ZU:

6+ inch 1080p amoled screen

double tap to wake device

dual front facing speaker w/ a larger earpiece (like the Z2 or Z4)

better/bigger notification LED light (one that isnt so cheap looking)

non-exposed USB 3.1 port (unlike the M4 aqua)

multipurpose magnetic dock (audio out would be sweet)

bigger battery

wireless charging

So this is Artby92, earphones gave up after a few months. But we have a new problem, my z ultra was hit by a glass salt shaker. I now have a phone with cracks on the screen adna failed digitizer. And Im forced to go back to my note 3 which is on kitkat, and the screen feels cramped, /. Thank god I didnt have to go to my iphone 4s I dont think I can go back to 2008
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
so today my digitizer is acting up

phantom touches everywhere
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PloniAlmoni:
How long did you have your XZU before that happened?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
about a year and 3 months now

it was flawless (minus wear and tear) until yesterday :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PloniAlmoni:
My XZU is about two months old, so hopefully I'm safe for now.... I still hope that doesn't happen, if I upgrade my phone that long from now, I still might want to use this as a tablet in the future if the other phone isn't going to be as big. I love the size, I don't know why Apple put down "tweener" devices until they started making their own ones themselves. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
I'd say keep the beast in a case and don't flex/bend it... that might make it last longer

I don't use a case and i kept the phone in backpockets and such... still... there are no visible cracks in the glass.... just a crazy digitizer that prevents me from using the phone now :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PloniAlmoni:
I keep mine in a wallet case most of the time, and put it in my jacket inner pocket. So maybe I'll dodge that bullet. [emoji2]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] szaim:
I have had my Z Ultra for about one and a half years now. Besides horrible camera and lack of flash, I had to battle with erratic touchscreen response for a long time. Currently, the phantom clicks have become so bad that the phone is unusable for all purposes. I have been trying to unlock the screen for more than 2 hours now. Probably cleaned the screen 10 times. I think it is time I part ways with my XZU.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LxMxFxD:
Interesting. I've had my z ultra now for nearly 3 years (November 2013 purchase) and always had issues with phantom touches. By always I mean this happens about every week or so. It is always resolved by cleaning the screen, fortunately. I think it is sony's screen protector that causes this. I never bothered to remove it - some in this community have. Try that method and see if it improves your Z ultra experience?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I have a small fleet of Ultras under control here.

The oldest one is a C6802 bought in August 2013. It works perfectly well with just one issue: The classic case of loosing the rubber seal on the USB port cover. Beside this, mint condition without any issues whatsoever. The battery still has a decent life, no noticeable degradation.

The second one is a C6833 (my own) from October 2014, which also suffers the rubber seal loss and also had an accident with a loose magnetic charging port but I managed to fix it myself and simply press it back in place, which worked. No other issues. It has one blemish caused by an accident I had when I fell with the device in my shirt pocket.

The third one is a C6833 (my partner) and it is in mint condition, bought in 2015 - no technical issues with its hardware so far.

This is the status at this time, knock on wood. I think the Ultra has been excellent quality overall.

The only thing I have noticed is a slightly swollen (I think) battery on my CP12 so I am retiring it and plan to get a slim cover instead.

Edit: The phantom touch issue isn't something I experienced. The only exception would be two times when the device was connected to the computer and it got some crazy behavior (this was with MTP and ADB enabled) but it ceased right away upon disconnection.
