Hello All,

So in the end it appears that I should get a new laptop. Will stick with Windows environment and Android Studio. But thought maybe I would ask here if anyone had a decent idea of what a good "non-budget" busting laptop would be? RAM wise, processsors, etc.

In the end I'll need an Android tablet that uses voice, but that part can wait while I learn the basics of Android programming. So if anyone has any thoughts they would like to through out, please feel free.

Thanks ahead, as always.

Hi All,

All the specs for the Athena state that vibrating alert is supported. However, I can find no way of switching this on. The Universal has a vibrating option in the volume control, but not the Athena. Are the specs wrong?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I don't think that there is vibrate functionality on the Athena. The specs I've seen don't have this as a feature. Maybe the site you're reading it from has it wrong?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
First - please post in the correct place (Athena\Athena for this one) - this thread is for WM6 issues ;)

As to vibrating, sonme sites just got this wrong. The Athena has a spinning hard drive in it - vibration would not be good!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Anton.Valleyman:
Not to mention the bloody tablet side would probably fall down if it were shook that much!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] hdbueller:
That is incorrect! The Athena has a USB flash drive in it and NOT a mechanical (i.e. "spinning") hard drive.

The Athena does not have the vibrating alert feature.

Hope this helps.........Later
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
Wrong yet again!!!!

The Athena has a real mechanical/spinning HD in it.

Its an 8GB Microdrive from Hitachi. IT IS NOT A SOLID STATE DEVICE...

It uses a PATA ZIF connector (Same interface Protocol as an older desktop HD, but different connector) not USB...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
You got there before I could. There is a suggesiton that some later models have / will abandone the spinning microdive for solid state memory.

BTW if you play music from the MD but turn the volume off, you can even hear it spinning if you put the unit to your ear:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
LOL - never thought of that :D

Waterproof Question

I got a question:

The earpiece is covered by a fine mesh that on my phone appears to be loose - I don't know if it's supposed to be like this but it's only the upper part > is that affecting the water resistance?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Hi,

the earpiece should be tight connected to your phone otherwise there might be a chance that the water resistance is not 100%. To be sure that you're safe, try another earpiece and see if it fits tightly.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:

Hey yall

I had been on CM11 for a long time but phone/battery performance finally made me look into updating the ROM again.

I eventually settled on venkat's RockZ1, but also installed a 5.1.1 stock as an intermediary before updating all the way.

I noticed in either ROM I cannot take pictures. The camera works but I can't actually capture anything. Is this because of the bootloader lock/unlock thing? I am so out of the loop I'm not sure how to tackle this issue.

thx

I tried the Jaguar ROM, and now on the MX ROM, they all run well just the camera doesn't work.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Hi,

it's always a major problem updating the Android version and installing a new ROM. It's asking for problems, alas. There is untill now no official Android 5.1.1 for the Z1 and t might be there will never be one. So, you have now two problems:

1. An unoffcial update for the Z1 to 5.1.1

2. Installing the RockZ1 and unlocking your bootloader.

The only thing I can think of to advice you, in order to get your camera working again, is: go to settings - backing up - scroll downwards untill you find "restore to factory settings" - choose that option and your device will be brought back to the setting when you bought the device. Nasty job to do, but IMO the only way to get everything to work again.

Kind word of advice: I also used to change the stock ROM for a lot of custom ROM's, but found out in the end that the stock ROM is still the best you can have on your Z1.

BTW, do not restore a backup you made of these ROM's!!!

Jaguar ROM C6902 Modem

Hello to good people who may answer.

As per Jaguar ROM developer the C6902 modem didn't make it into the r18 version of the build. I wanted to know whether it's a single random occurence, that doesn't affect the consecutive builds. If it's not a random occurence, then what may modem recommendations be so as not to compromise the ROM integrity? Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Hi,

just use the custom ROM that comes with the Z1, it's the best there is. Read already a lot of problems with non-custom ROM's installed on the Z1, also the Jaguar ROM unfortunately. So stick to the original ROM. Tried several other alternative ROM's myself for the Z1, but none of them were as stable as the original one.

help me please!!

Hi people of XDA, this is my first post on the forums. A few hours ago i rooted my C6903 using Kingroot and all went well (as far as i know.) I then installed remove kingroot and install SU file.i mainly rooted the phone to use Freedom,GameCIH, Game Killer, Game Guardian to try and get coins on a game called SongPop. However, as i was using freedom to buy coins ingame, the app crashed (and so did GP Store/GP Services.), I realised those apps havent been updated in years and i decided to give up. So i said what the heck and uninstalled root through kingroot. (again, all went well afaik). I then tried to open the GP Store. but it gives me some error that i cannot remember "white screen with try again later" so i thought restarting my phone would fix it. Anyways i hit restart and THE PHONE DOESNT BOOT ANYMORE. it shows sony logo then black screen then sony logo and so on. I am NOT an expert and i would very much appreciate a fix that doesn't include flashing a firmware as i've never tried it and cannot afford a new phone. also i live in a 3rd world country and my internet speed is very slow (~40kbps). please explain to me as you would to a noob :P

XDA, you are my last hope :confused: :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

First, please don't install those "game modders", they usually give you free stuff you weren't supposed to have as free, and those IAPs are what make a freemium game, well, free -- and they are what keep the development alive for some of these games. As you're in a Developer Community you should understand that the guidelines of XDA-Developers are very strict regarding warez, which is software like those.

Now regarding your problem, to reflash a firmware is quite simple, however I think you can try booting in stock recovery and performing a factory reset. Otherwise you will need to reflash firmware, however it's a simple procedure, I'm pretty sure there are some guides in General Section or even Q&A itself that teaches you how to do that. Leave the file downloading overnight, when my internet get that bad (believe me, it used to happen more often than I wanted) I used to do that.

All the best,

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goth1k:
OK, I updated my Z1 to 5.1.1 rooted and started to experience what seem to be either power issues or memory overflow issues. I'll describe what happens the best I can and hope it will be enough info for you guys to figure out what the problem is.

I can charge my phone to full capacity and if I use a high memory intensive app, e.g Facebook or a large game, the phone shuts down around 70-75% battery power. If I switch it straight back on it just powers back off again, but if I leave it for a couple of minutes it will come back on and show 60-70% battery power. And sometimes if I don't connect the charger it puts itself into a boot loop, sometimes getting to the boot image and other times only getting so far as the Sony logo. Also it will, at times, go through the 'Android is Starting...Optimizing Apps' rigmarole, thus losing my WiFi passwords and a few other settings. But other settings and data etc are left intact

I did a little research and came upon a thread stating that it could be a bad system partition and to do a repair through Sony's PC Companion, but alas to no avail.

Has anyone experienced this and is there a fix for it or is it just a case of a dead battery, which it doesn't seem to be due to it only happening when there are high memory usage apps in play.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I miss some information. You rooted your device while updating to 5.1.1. Which ROM are you using now, the custom one or another one? Before I can help you, this is nessary information. Besides that, there is no official Sony update for the Z! to Android 5.1.1.

[MENTION=1303867]kuzibri[/MENTION] - My phone is updated to 5.1.1 official as I did it OTA when I started to first experience these issues.

I can't remember which rom I came from, but it was custom 5.0.2

Attached is a screenshot of my device info
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
AFAIK, no official Sony update to 5.1.1 has been released ever, I kown that cause I own a Z1 (and Sony Companion always told me that my device was up to date, so no message that there was an update to 5.1.1) and, if this would be the case, Sony never updates rooted devices. Since you have problems after the "update", I would advice to go to settings - making a backup - and choose factory reset, so will you get the original custom ROM from Sony for your device.

BTW, official updates from Sony always are installed via USB and not OTA. I once got this message and updating failed. Also if you look at the Sony page which devices will be updated to 5.1.1, wou wil see that the Z1 is not mentioned at all,

You should double check before you say this cause I received 5.1.1 ota in Sept-oct time from Sony so Idk what happened with you phone :-S
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
Sorry, no double check needed. Are you sure that Sony delivered the update OTA or your provider? Getting an update to 5.1.1 OTA is sometimes offered by your provider, but in principle Sony itself releases updates only that has to be installed via USB connection. So, only updates released by Sony itself are relevant and not the one's that are provided by your provider. My phone is still on 5.0.2, And as I told before, there is no official update to 5.1.1 for the Sony Z1 as mentioned on their homepage. FYI, my Sony Z2 Tablet runs on 5.1.1 cause Sony released an update for that. Comparing these two versions, there is not much difference between 5.0.2 and 5.1.1. Regarding my phone: no problems at all with 5.0.2.
