Hi
what will happen if teardown xperia z and then ensemble it?
i mean what will happen for water proof and dust resistance of it?

does Xperia Z support app to sd card?
Disassembling the Xperia Z is nearly impossible. I've heard that service centers will just be swapping handsets instead of trying to repair them.
The Xperia Z does not support moving apps to SD, but you can use the whole 11GB of internal memory for apps.

it is bad news but cause u r currently use this device we must believe but any official solution for it instead of rooting and etc ?
This is from whitepaper of Xperia Z
about Sd card thr s nothing mention no suppost for app to sd card. just it says few apps can move to SD Card.
can anyone send screen shot from application manager of xperia Z to confirm about it?! 'please!'
""SD Card (known as “/ext_card” from a programmer’s point of view, or by other names in other Android
products) is the name for the removable SD memory card in all 2013 Sony Mobile products. As
described above, this External Card memory is generally more limited in that any application can READ
from it, but many applications cannot SAVE to this card. Only a few applications, including back-up
applications and file manger applications, has the capability to save to this card.""
Again, you have 11GB of internal memory for apps. Why would you need to move even more to SD?

if i can move apps to sd card it means more internal storage for installing apps and etc.
however 11GB is large amount of storage but more is better

Your warranty will be void. Dust should be fine, but no guarantee of waterproofness, same as a watch when the battery is changed. (sir would you like to do a pressure test to ensure your watch is still waterproof, "me" No thanks because if you have done a bad job of changing the battery the pressure test will screw my watch, won't it? answer YES)
Why would you need app to sd? this is no HTC Desire, 2Gb plus the remainder internal ram is a lot. Would seriously hate to scroll through your app drawer on the phone, it would take hald an hour to find anything. I am sure that developers could offer you this if they could be bothered writing the code, for a couple of people.
if thr s ability to move app2sdcard it can help phone to work smoother and softer, and maybe thr s m.second delay to launch apps from sdcard but better to have more space and more CPU performance.
however stamina mode help to have enough RAM memory but still internal memory is issue.
but maybe sony launch 32GB version of XZ or android set move to sd for apps again

did i get something wrong in the past?!?!
stamina=for memory? thought it's an energy saving option halting background-processes when screen goes off, and resuming them when screen is turned on again?!
phone works smoother and softer with apps on sd instead of internal memory? always thought the internal memory is way faster than any sdcard?!?
apps on sdcard boosts cpu performance? didn't know that, too. why?

stamina is not for memory directly but when u turn off apps and don allow them to work in background it also will empty the ram memory.

but that's the point, i thought. they aren't turned off, they're just paused by the system. and resumed when screen is turned on again. but when halting them, and then freeing some memory, then they can't resume because the processes lost their data. then it would be merely a restart than a resume?!
or am i wrong?!?

for this what i said it s not important to pause or off, cause both action will save charge and release ram memory.
for example ram in samsung devices is almost full always cause they r running background to get quick access to most used apps but sometimes we see problem to load even home screens because of it.
but sony has better operation that release memory faster and automatically. and i guess stamina mode by turning off and pausing apps will do it better than before.

saving charge is pretty logical. but i still don't get the point why pausing a thread/process frees memory? so a thread doesn't need to be paused to free its memory, this can also happen during runtime! because on both cases - halted or running - the os can only free memory which isn't used anymore.

yeah but sometimes memory cannot be released when running in background
to understand it better check out the task manager of ur computer OS.

There is a Xperia Z Disassembly tutorial video on youtube. Just search it on youtube as "Xperia Z Disassebly"
But I've a doubt about the back cover.
If we can open the back cover by heating, then when the phone get so hot the back cover can slide or remove. Is it possible?

Hey guys,
Just a general question here. I always installed my programs on the storage card and never the device whenever I had the option but then I wondered is there a difference in terms of speed or anything? Are there certain programs I should be installing on the device and not storage card?
I did a search and didnt find anything.
Thanks
I dont think speed is the problem. I have never encountered any noticeable difference in speed. But I certainly had some stability problems with apps installed onto storage card.

Most of the time the read/write speed from storage card is sufficient to make the app run well from the storage card.
But because the storage card is controlled by a driver the stability can be a problem. I've heard from several sources that an on the storage card installed program running in the background can cause SoD's.
storage card is better for "storage" as applications use the main board memory better...
hmm ok, ill keep that in mind.
My xperia is randomly shutting down by itself for no reason, so Im wondering if thats a problem.
Ill just have it in my pocket and when I press the power button, instead of coming out of standby, it actually starts up.
Sometimes too when it starts up and it shows the sony ericsson screen it will just shut off there too.
Generally I recommend you the following: Don't install system relevant programs onto your storage card. By system relevant I mean all programs that are autostarted or otherwise associated with the os. For example today plugins, programs that replace certain native applictations like messaging etc, task managers...
By following those rules I have no problems at all with unstable applications.
when in suspended mode sd interface is turned off so programs running from there will not run
So this may be a dumb question but what are the advantages and disadvantages of checking the "lock home in memory" box in the Cyanogen performance settings?
I'm not an Android expert, but from my understanding of it ...
Personally, I'd keep Home locked in memory on the Nook.
On older devices with low memory, you'd want every bit of it free for running applications.
Let's say you had 24 MB of free and usable memory, and your Home was taking up 6 MB. If your system claimed that, that is like getting a quick 25% boost to memory.
However, hitting the Home button would cause the Desktop to take longer to display, as it now had to fight to get some memory back just to load back up.
Keeping Home locked in memory means that it will not give up what it has allocated, so that you can always quickly switch back to it. Since the Nook has 512MB of RAM, I've usually seen something like 180-380 MB free on mine at all times, so I don't worry about releasing the tiny chunk Home claims.
Someone, *please* correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the reply, this is pretty much what I assumed. If this is the case, and it sounds logical, then I'm bit confused as to why it isn't automatically checked in CM7 anyway.
Default options are weird.
For my old G1, not locking it in memory makes sense. For the newer Nook, locking it in memory would be better.
Other defaults of CM7 include the Camera and Phone app on the Desktop for the Nook. Really?

Those apps are tied to strange but important parts of the OS, so they can't be easily removed.
Anyone know if it's possible to switch on a app by app basis whether they should be using sdcard or sdcard2? I can't seem to find one in the settings, I'd like to move doggcatcher and someother apps that use large amounts of space to external SD instead of the internal storage.
Doing some searches I could find some stuff to swap them on a global basis but nothing on a app by app basis.
Thanks

The Vivid doesn't really differentiate between internal and external sd. the internal sd is /sdcard, and the external sd is simply a folder in that at /sdcard/ext_sd. So when you move an app to sd, it puts it in /sdcard. As far as I know, there is no way to specificy moving it to the external sd.

Is it just the Vivid, or is it the Anroid OS that does not provide the desired functionality for installing apps in internal or external storage? Along those lines, I noticed that the display settings are the same regardless of whether I am using the battery or AC power. My old WinMob HD2 could be set to stay on always on AC power but time out after x minutes on battery.

Having never had another phone w/ both internal & external storage abilities, I can't answer the first question. However, the second is possible. If you go to Settings > Applications > Development and check Stay Awake, it'll prevent the phone from sleeping when plugged in and keep the screen on, then it'll revert to what's set under Settings > Display when unplugged.

Thanks. Found it. Stupid of me to think that controls affecting the display would be under the Display settings. It's so logical the 'stay awake while charging' setting is under applications/development.
Hey Guys,
I was just around XDA and I was reading about someone who was saying that the Ram Swap have the "opinion" to not be useful at all but someone else who complain about the ram consumption saying that Swap is needed at must if on low Ram, and that was said from Power Users on XDA.
I understand that on High-End Devices this script not have space in the first place but I want to go extreme. Why Not?
Like all we know we have enough Ram to share but we also know that all the latest applications and Games eat a lot of Ram and when they consume Ram in excess Android will kill all the applications in background to let other applications working well.
Let's said that 2GB of Ram (1,66GB effective) it's not much on our Z1 and probably nobody take my idea seriously but I think that after few years when huge applications will come out on our devices, hungry of ram, then you will see that maybe this will help.
So my question is if it will be possible to expand the Ram with Swap on SD to let Android not kill Applications and have more Ram (virtual and real) to share. Like 1,66 real + 1GB Swap?
Do you think it will be a good Mod? It's difficult to make it real? It will be ever available on our Z1?
Well the Z1 only has 11gb or usable internal memory and i wouldnt want to make 1 or 2 of that useless just in case i run out of 1.7gb of ram on the device which doesnt happen very often. and the other thing is if you actually make a swap partition and manage to set it up , then when you run out of ram and device start to use the sd card or the external sd (which i think is even slower) as a ram the phone will start to run extremely slow compare to normal. i think swap partition make more sense on a linux production machines or a server when you cant afford any programme to be shut down. having said that if the mod is ever going to be availible ill probably make 500Mb swap just incase
Yes it is possible to make a swap partition on the Z1, just don't bother with it. Swap is really slow, your apps won't get killed but it will take a very long time to open them again since your internal memory/sd-card is that much slower than the RAM in your device.
You could try messing around with the Android minfree settings but other than that, deal with it. Try searching on Google for some tutorials on customizing your minfree settings.
Hello. I have a question regarding my phone that is constantly running out of storage space and have to use cleaner almost daily. I would like to be able to install more games and other apps but I can't do that due to low internal storage space. I bought a sd card (32 GB) in the hope of installing or moving apps to It. Unfortunately I can't do either. I moved all other files to it but it's not enough.My phone is not rooted and no free program I have tried successed (thought rooting could help). Do I have to buy a new phone to get possibility of using more amount of apps or is there another way? If I have to buy a new phone, recommend me something please. I would like to get a phone with a comparable CPU and GPU or maybe better, at least 4GB+ and 64GB of internal storage or more. It has to be a budget phone but upgrade should be viable.
Hello, I'd like to asked to if you guys also experience this:
Whenever I try to maxxed out the volume and play something whether its a video or music, the phone just reboots right after.
Idk what happened but before I noticed those kind of stuff to happen in my Redmi 9. I just previously fixed it from bootloop w/o recovery & w/o fastboot due to downgrading from MIUI 13.0.5 CN ROM to MIUI 11.0.4 GLOBAL ROM.
So I was wondering whether it was a software issue or hardware issue in this case the battery. Idk if someone had ever tried this but I've watched a similar problem got fixed in youtube w/ Redmi Note 9 instead
with soldering or reheating the fuse within the battery.

Before, Android can still do that transfering apps + associated data to the sd card iirc it was Jellybean. Lol
But right now you can still do that but i think you need some root access correct me if im wrong. Though that is still not advisable cause accessing those apps would be much more slower or rather laggy than installing your apps within the internal storage.
One way to not run out internal storage is to transfer all "passive/static" files like photos/music/videos to your sdcard. The ones that are left for your internal storage should be the apps only that is if you want to install more apps in your device. Also you can set where the files should be saved everytime you take photo or video or download files, and set them to sdcard.
