[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angeal Hewley:
Hello !

I have a french stock Tablet Z2 32 Gb. I checked within Xperifirm and everyone got the Lollipop update except the region including France, Germany etc...

Did I miss a note saying that we won't get the update ? Lollipop is rolling out for others regions since days or weeks. I find it odd that we don't have it yet ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kof69:
Same for me.

Wait, it come.

Sent from my SGP512
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angeal Hewley:
Thanks for the reply. That's still very annoying to be last at the party :/
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mru55:
Unless you have been waiting with baited breath to set up multiple users, or are annoyed to death with the sd card silliness,

There is really nothing to be gained from lollipop.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boni_1983:
Yes i'm also in the same boat. All regions got Lollipop but not ours. (SGP511) (1281-8033)

I wrote to Sony about this but they won't give me any information.

This is very frustrating. I love my Lollipop on the Z3 Compact. It works great and looks so nice.

Has anyone flashed a FTF from a different region on there device? Are any issues to be expected?

Regards,

boni
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
The Taiwanese prerooted .726 firmware which has a thread in this forum should -according to xda members - also work on a SGP512.

Region is really irrelevant - as soon as you set the language on the welcome screen, they're really all just the same.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hermovv:
In that case, could somebody give a hint which region to choose, that is for me, which region/customisation is the less bloated one?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Also irrelevant, because if you're rooted, you anyway can uninstall or deactivate the bloat apps.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boni_1983:
Ok i just flashed 23.1.A.0.726 VMo UK-IE using this guide.

h**p://***.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/

It's running great. I should have done this sooner. But who knew that after over a Month release of Lollipop the German devices would still not have it via OTA.

Does any body know what will happen once 5.1 is released for xperia devices? Will i get it OTA via my original region or via the region i just flashed manually? Or do i always need to flash manually from now on?

IMO I can see both sides but on one hand companies produce software for the betterment of the product and that I can see how they can say it is theirs. The software they create is their code and should be used for its standard and original purpose.

On the other hand these companies should realize that the software was made to be released to the consumer for it is about the product in its entirety that we buy not just the hardware aspect.

If one needs to alter the software for their personal use I believe we should but not to do so for monitory reasons.

Thank you Google for your open source software!!

The replies that may be post is a matter of opinion please respect it and let's not flame each other for it. If so please close this thread.

This type of licensing for software is usually because companies don't want you to think that you own the software and so can re-sell it. That's the main reason.

They don't usually lose profit when you modify it, so it's lower interest for them. But if you start re-selling the software, they'll lose profit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
has anyone figured out what in the /system/etc/mixer_path.xml file we change to increase headphone volume?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
I figured it out. Go into mixer_paths.XML and scroll down to the output volume stage around line 2221. Below that is gain media headset. That's the area you want to alter. Below that you will see hpout1l input 1 volume. Change that value and the hpout1r value. I turned mine up to 50 and it's definitely noticeable.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sacrificing:
Hello everyone. I'm a new member here so if I forget to mention crucial information needed to get technical support, please let me know.

Surprisingly it all started when my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900) was low on battery yesterday. I had to go to college so I took my external battery with me and charged it in my backpack. I didn't need my tablet so I left it in there (was working fine before) and I came back to it this morning to find that it had restarted. It was on the glowing blue Samsung logo, but it wouldn't load past that. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't boot past the logo no matter what. So I tried booting into Android System Recovery (Power + Volume UP) to wipe the cache and still, same results. This is where I can see the error "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)".

I also did the following:

*Download Samsung Kies (both version 3 and the other since each one says it's not supported and to download the other) and try to resolve the issue. Tablet could not be recognized by either version. No fix.

*Download ADB and the official firmware and flash it (adb gives various errors, ex: can't connect. I may be doing the commands wrong as I'm no expert at this). No fix.

*Download Odin in an attempt to flash it, but the first search result in google was a professional-looking website that actually had a trojan-horse for download; had to shut down my PC and run MalwareBytes, Avast! and McAffee to ensure that nothing remained.

I've been at this since morning. I've also looked at other topics and websites about this problem but I can't seem to find a straight-forward solution. Can anyone please help? I desperately need my tablet for work as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance, and please be precise and clear with your answers (because I'm not so good at Android/Linux commands, or rooting or anything that isn't spoon-fed).

Update: Still not working after I tried to apply TWRP 2.8.6.0 (zip) through System Recovery. After finding, opening and verifying the package it gives the following error message:

E: failed to seek in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Value too large for defined data type), E: signature verification failed, E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument).

I should also note that throughout the entire time I used the official firmware, I haven't used any custom ROMs but I'm now open to it since I have to do all this.

Update 2: Downloaded Cyanogenmod Installer and while it was about to install, it detected the device needed to be repaired. My device was in Android System Recovery under the "apply update from ADB" selection, and these errors came up when Cyanogenmod tried to fix it: "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed".

BIG Update (3): I managed to find the legit Odin application and flashed TWRP v2.8.6.0. However, I'm not sure what to do from this point on out. Help?

THIS GUIDE IS FOR ROOTED AND NON ROOTED USERS]Ok so guys. I was just messing around because this auto update thing was annoying and found every single guide out there. Non of them did the job well. One even freezed the download at 100% but still in memory -_-

Soo I decided to do my digging myself and traced the exact sequence of the update to its core programs and believe it or not it doesn't even have the name ota or anything like that on it!

You can either do this rooted or unrooted but more efficient as root

It can work on any version as long as you see this program present>>>Amazon Device Client Platform or ADCP

Now I'm using a 3rd generation rooted and everything modded kindle (except custom Rom) but I am busybox and whatever

Which can be obtained by just downloading this loving program courtesy of peniscorp.com..if you wanna know if it works for you just download E.S file manager...goto /device and yes you can go there without root ..just go there and open build.prop and look.for Soho...if u see it...you're good to go ...

NOW LETS CUT TO THE CHASE

Step 1. Press the thanks.button down below :D

Step 2 Make sure u do number 1 lol

Step 3. Goto your device settings

Step 3 goto applications

Step 4 goto Manage applications

Step 5 in the drop down menu (assuming all versions have it )

And press "all applications"

Step 6 look for the program "ADCP" or Amazon Device Client Platform

Step 7 as non root user you can just fc it and clear data and cache and just avoid checking for updates! We don't wanna remind the device it should be installing updates

HOWEVER IF YOU ARE ROOTED

You could just fc it and use Droidwall or any other firewall app and look for that sucker and block it!

Don't ever try to uninstall it!

Rooted or not rooted ..those pesky updates won't bother u again!

Ps.

Droidwall is available on play store ...you can sideload it of course ..and the app it self has a pretty decent GUI so I don't think I need to get into detail on using the app

Well that's it folkes and believe me NO other ota update blocker works for the kfhd 7 2013 3rd generation and I have Looked everywhere and followed EVERY guide

They are Soo not fool.proof

So there you go guys hope it works as it did for me !

OS on SD card

I'd like to be able to boot the tablet from and SD card, rather that have it boot from the operating system.

I'm hoping that the tablet looks to the SD card for an operating system first (many tablets do). If it finds one there, it will boot from it, rather than in the usual away.

This requires an OS that I can burn to the SD card, of course.

I'm wondering if this is possible with a Samsung tablet, and if it is, if you know where I could find a simple recovery that I could write to the SD card. Something like TWRP, or CM (Cyanogen), for example.

TWRP, for example, would allow me to backup the whole tablet to this same SD card, then moving on, I could then flash a new OS, maybe Google Android Lollipop.

Best,

Roger

When I receive a phone call, I hear only the last ring. Who calls says to me that the telephone rings a lot but I hear only the last ring and I don't succeed to answer to the hone call, someone has the same issue ?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] adotan:
did you define an MP3 file as your ring tune?

if so this may result some delay, use a wav file as a ring tune, just place it in "RINGS" dir. under windows
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mr_ding:
Try calling yourself with the (PDA on) & with (PDA off). I think you will notice that there is about 3 seconds/rings delay when the PDA is off.

Also, like the previous poster said, MP3 as ringtone might take a bit longer than .wav file. Try using .wav as ringtone instead.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Bigbest:
Thank to all,

i'll try thw solution but i have a wav file like ringtone. I'll put it in windows\ring because, now, it is into "storage card\my documents".

If the PDA is off and there is about 3 seconds/rings delay, is the a solution ? can I leave the pda approached permanently? if yes how I can make?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karelb.:
With the new Lollipop update, the status bar colour should change to match the colour of the currently opened app. However, on my Z3 Compact it seems to be blue in every single app.

Does anyone know what to do about this?

Btw, I'm not rooted or anything, just received this phone today.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:
the blue bar is the default [fallback] colour of your theme, if you open YouTube [for instance] you'll see the bar is red rather than blue, so for the apps that have a blue bar it's either because the dev made it blue, or there's no bar colour definition and it falls back to default.

if you don't like the blue colour, try and changing your theme to something else [different themes, different bar settings]
