As i've mentioned earlier about the iPhone howto video ...

Could you tell me how good the touch sensitive screen reponses when it have the "bodyguardz" covered ??

note: ... only certain kit(s) goes this way of "covering the whole screen" ... if it works well ... I hope the TyTN II kit do the same ... :p

thickness is similar to a screen protection I guess ... there's one video for the MACBOOK and it does the "covering of the mouse's touchpad" as well ... so I guess it works really well then.

:)

YOUTUBE howto vids ... all sorts ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] d.cortez:
ok guys (and any girls) i just applied the BodyGuardz to my Kaiser and took a few pics before hitting the road... I've included 10 pics in the attached zip file. they're not the best pics, but hopefully they give you some perspective on fit, look, etc. keep in mind that it takes 24 hours for the bubbles to disappear. the pics were taken about 3 hours after application so you'll see some bubbles here and there. by the way, you get 2 sets of skins and 3 screen protectors with the kit. each set includes a skin for the left and right sides, one for the top, one for the back and one for the front. the left side skin also covers the bottom of the phone. so far I'm pleased. i like the somewhat tacky-feel and now i know my phone will be protected from scratches when in my pocket. overall this is a pretty good value.

InvisibleSHIELD

Would anyone else be likely to purchase a screen and phone body protective case from ShieldZone if they have one available?

I have used these on many of my gadgets and they are the best around (IMHO)

I just emailed them to see if one is in the works and will post back with their reply when I recieve it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
I too think they make the best protection for our devices. I've used them on my previous Wizard and Hermes and loved them. The problem I see with putting them on the Kaiser/Tilt is that there's really not much real estate to cover. There's the screen (of course), but that's about it. I personally wouldn't want to cover the back because I like the grip I can get from it. The sides are "ridged", and can't be covered. And the rest of the face is just too small to cover.

But they're really good about making custom shields if you bring in your device to them and it's only like $10 more than their usual charge. But once they make a template, no more custom build fees. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] ZzFDKzZ:
I bought the invisibleshield for my 8125 many years ago. It was a big waste of money. I hated it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] d.cortez:
i too had reservations about using a "skin" to protect my Kaiser. i just recently applied the BodyGuardz to my device and as of know, i think i'll continue to use them. this is a link to some pictures (some good, some not so good) in case anyone's interested to see how it turn out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] thomassster:
i had this for my wizard. I love how friendly customer service was. If for some reason, you screw up your cover, which is pretty hard to do, then you can ask them to ship you another one paying for shipping as long as you register.

Only complaint is that it's a little too thick. Didn't feel good with the stylus. But at least I was confident that my screen wasn't going to get damaged.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] little_rock:
bloody hell i can hardly see it!

it looks so thin!

are you sure it will protect it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] d.cortez:
yes, it's thin and it covers a significant portion of the device. durability is good at the moment...time will tell how well it protects the device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Corinna:
Does anyone now if there will be any traces left when you remove the "bodyguardz"?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] MrSlacker:
I am pretty sure it will unless it covers 100% of the back. I kept my protection film on the battery cover for 2 days of use, when i took it off, there was a very noticeable trace from where it was.

Just want to ask some question about Z lines music app...

we all know that iphone/ipad can play downloaded music "videos" together with other standard mp3/aac music on iphone/ipad music player... we can play music videos on music app on iphone/ipad even if we turned off the screen and it will continuosly play.

my question is, does the latest music app of the sony xperia have this capability, to include music videos on music app and play it even we turn of screen and continously play with other music files such as mp3?

thanks and have a nice day...

You actually need not to install SuperSU after installing Kingroot (not KingoRoot), there is a built-in one, but he Kingroot one have no option for modifying the apps.

You could just simply click "get now" to root your phon.

If you root with dodgy kingroot you must change kinguser to supersu as kinguser does not give the same root access permissions as supersu does and will cause problems...

When you say kingroot is dodgy, can you go straight to SuperSU?

I would love that without unlocking my bootloader if possible.
[Sony Xperia M5] aidy.lucas:
There's a zip you flash via recovery probably other ways too, it removes all the kingroot/kinguser files and replaces them with supersu for proper root access. Really don't see the point in buying a Xperia device for the camera ect then unlocking the Bootloader and losing it yes I know there's a workaround for the z ranges but bet it's not as good as the real drm keys

Hello, and thank you for the guide. I have some questions that I would like someone to address please.

1. After installing KingRoot, do I have to run the app and go through the rooting process? Or i just install it and follow the other steps?

2. mount /system RW says 'your device may not be rooted or is not compatible'

3. You say '-Open Terminal emulator and write code.

su

sh storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh'. However, when I type su, it says SU not found.

Thank you in advance all.
[Sony Xperia M5] pren22:
You didn't root your phone.When you install KingRoot you have to open the app and click on Root,you may have to try several times until you are abel too root it,just keep trying for me it took three times to make it work,for some up to 7 times,but when it's rooted it will show you the message that your phone is rooted and then you can follow the rest guide...
[Sony Xperia M5] omrtpsycho:
Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I did as you said and now I have SuperSU and kinguser is no longer there. I have one more question, if you dont mind. Is it OK if I remove Purify and SuperBattery now?

PS: I got a bit anxious while installing SuperSU, as it asked to delete other superuser apps, i said OK, and it stuck at 'supersu uninstalling'. However, I restarted the phone and everything was OK.

[Sony Xperia M5] Monipeev:
Somewhat depends on the method of Root. One option at locked bootloader is to reinstall software with Xperia Companion, this will remove root permisions. With Flashtool if flash software for your device, will also eliminate the root.

You have options to choose.
[Sony Xperia M5] Ninoh-FOX:
To me this method does not work for me, I can install root with kingroot, but then I can not install SuperSU, only I did it with supersume (since the root.sh script uninstalls me kingroot but then not overwrite me files system, or kd his, nor install-recovery on the right), the problem is that even if I get supersume SuperSU install properly, the partition is lost sdcard1 and then the phone will not start after restart ...

Morning all

I updated my Z5 to MM 6.0, and i am no longer able to access my external SD card. Card is a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb CLass 10

It was NOT set up as shared storage before the update, and worked fine before the update.

I have taken the card out of the phone and re-inserted it to see if it'll detect it, but that restarts the phone and still does not show.

I've also taken the card out and put it in a card reader on my laptop, contents show fine as they were before the update, and even tried formatting to exFAT to see if it would detect it, but the phone still does not see it.

Is there a fix for this? I'm a bit annoyed at this, and will be thoroughly pissed off if it won't come back as i use it for camera and music storage to keep the phone memory as clear as possible.

EDIT: NOW A FIX

Same problem here. In addition, I could not delete anything on the card through File Commander nor format the SD card in the android storage setting (got some sort of partition error). I also connect the card to PC through phone (with card inside the phone and set to MTP) and the PC could "delete" it but the files are actually still there after that when I open them through phone.

Friend of mine had the same problem with his microsd card sandisk 64GB class 10.. Whenever that happens, it means your sdcard is rubbish. Defect,dead,bye bye Charlie, R.I.P.. Buy a new sdcard.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Connect the sdcard to the pc with sdcard usb adapter or reader. Try to wipe its contents, format it with default settings, select quick format. (backup whatever u need first).. After thats done insert the sdcard in to the phone and format it using the phone format sdcard option in settings>storage.

If for any reason after you reinsert your sd card back in to the phone all the contents on the sd card are still there, then simply put.. Your micro sd card is defect. Throw it out and buy a new one. Lol. This is alsoa common problem with sandisk ultra micro sd cards. Sandisk even admit it in a forum i read once, cant remember the link im afraid. But a simpke google search is your best friend for that ;).

Hope this cleared a few things up for u

Oh something i forgot to mention, if any of you have a custom recovery and rooted device, try this, (as it could be possible your device had put a protection/lock on the sdcard). Try to format the micro SD card within the Custom recovery instead if it doesn't work from within the settings menu.. you'll also have a bit more detail as to whats going on with the card. If custom recovery fails to format the card, then the card is literally defect. Buy a new one :)

Why would the problem only surface after MM update if it is a defect?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTecXpert:
I'm not sure as to what the MM update has to do with it, It could just be coincidence that your MicroSD card just happen to become defected at the time of the update...

although it seems like too much of a coincidence.. there is only 1 way to be Exactly sure, that it aint your MicroSD.. If you have any data on the card that isn't important. Then try this and post back your results....

1. Insert the microSD in to your MicroSD adapter or card reader on your PC..

2. Try to format the SD card within windows either as eXFAT or FAT32 (Try both) Inserting the card back in to the phone after each Format with both File Systems

3. Check the SD card in files within your phone with a file explorer and see if the Data on your SD card is STILL there, If it is.. The Card Is Defect/Damaged/Corrupt etc..

4. If all the data is gone, Then navigate to your Settings>Storage>Format SD CARD (using the phone/device to format it)

Let me know how you Go..

There have many threads and discussions on the sandisk forums with many people having the same issues with these csrds.. Some people even bought 4-5 of them and had to send them all back to sandisk and get them replaced with working cards.. Apparently these cards do not handle being formatted too many times all that well.. Infact, people have been claiming that when they format it once or twice the card still works fine. Then after the 4-5th time, they just give out and just stop working all of a sudden.. Here is the link to the forum

http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...sk-Ultra-64gb-MicroSD-Wont-format/td-p/284884

One user claims he used this method and it seemed to have fixed the problem.

I had the same problem as everyone else here on the forum. Nothing worked but this.

You have to format the card using Windows Command level option;

1. Run and type "cmd"

2. Then type; "format L:"

3. Get a cup pf coffee and relax

*

Notes

** L = your sd card drive letter

** don't use quotation marks

** there is a space between format and the drive letter

------------------------------

Give that a try and let me know how it goes..

Good luck guys..

EDIT: I am infront of my PC now, so I am going to try format it this way through CMD PROMPT (aka MS-DOS), and because its a 64GB card, it will take a little bit of time.. So far it's been going smoothly and it's at 13% (roughly 1% every 45sec - 1min 10sec).. It must be doing a thorough format rather than a quick format.. Let's just wait and see if all ends well..

I Will post the results / outcome once format is complete and after I test it in one of my devices..

Maybe taking your sdcard out while updating to MM could have prevented a file pathing corruption, renaming.

But @ the person who's sdcard just stopped working altogether, but you're card done for man. Funny thing is, its mainly sandisk cards. I'm not a fan of sandisk, they are too unreliable IMO..
