After 2 years with an Xperia Arc it was time to "upgrade" and I decided on an SP
Why does it take so long to set up a new mobile to the way the old one was?
Anyway, I have used the SD card from the Arc and slotted it in to my SP. I have copied OfficeSuite Pro and a few other things to the card in the hope that I can transfer to my SP. Only problem is I cant seem to access the SD card on my SP to do the transfer.
Also, when I use Google on my new phone I get a predictive text and would like to stop this. Can the predictive text be disabled?
Finally, on my Arc I had an icon which was for internet. If I was using the internet and I wanted to look at something else, maybe my calendar, I could press HOME and open my calendar. Getting back to the internet page I was on meant closing the calendar and pressing the internet icon. My SP doesnt allow this as I dont have an icon to take me back to the page I was on. Can my SP be set up to do the same thing, and if so how is it done?
Grateful for help on this as its driving me insane!!
Thanks.

1. Install ES File Explorer from the play store and then goto sd01 , thats your sd card
2. You can disable predictive text by going to settings > language and input
The internal space is seen as SD card.
Your old SD card is seen as ext SD card.
You need a file manager to see both.

Hi,
My phone screen is broken, its all blank, i cant control or see whats going on the device.
I want to restore all my contacts from the phone although i dont have anything synced with my live.com email (checked there and no contacts)
Anyway i can do that ? maybe ssh to the device ? maybe the contacts are stored on the SD memory and i can somehow access and restore them ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Try connecting your phone to your pc and see if you can access your internal memory. My HD2 I used total comander and could access everything including my sim I believe can't remember. Total comander works on your pc I believe.lol now I'm not sure, but some kind of file explorer should work otherwise try taking your sim card out and putting it in another phone and see if your contacts are still there. HD7 doesn't utilize my contacts from tmo?
Should be auto synced unless you disengaged it.
Next phone dl lookout .... It's a great app and free. Hope this helps good luck dude.

The Sim did not contain all of my contacts. I will try the total commander and see if i can get anything.
Total Commander did not show my device.
I also followed a tutorial on how to make my phone show in my computer And now i can see my device as portable media player in my computer but i cant access it since the device is locked with a key and the screen is broken.
Any other ideas ? i really need help, i also have a Linux machine if that can provide some other methods you can think of.
I am having a problem with transferring photos from my pc to my phone.
No matter what file I try to transfer them to. They won't be recognized. Like they don't even exist.
I try to transfer them again to the same file to see if maybe it did not work but it says they are there. But when I go to check my gallery, there is no sign of them.
What is going on? Do I have a virus? Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i hate the built-in gallery try to download quickpic (alot of option + fast )
or try to clear cache
OK so that helped with updating my contact pictures list, but I originally wanted to update my wallpaper. I use multi picture live wallpaper. And like I said any new picture I put onto my phone is just not recognized.
I'm just directly put my photos under a folder created by myself in the internal storage.

I have actually done that, but alas did not make a difference. If it makes any difference. I notice that whenever I either plug in my phone into my pc and/or move photos around the "Media Scanner Running" icon notifies me on and off for about 5 minutes even after I have finished. And it as well tends to randomly close any app and the app drawer when I open it.
OK just replying to myself but haha I am becoming more and more frustrated with this. It is also affecting my music as well. I transfer the music files from my pc to my phone and they are only in "My Files" app section. Not found in any of my music players.
Now I have recently downloaded a few apps for customization. Such as ADW Launcher EX, Widget locker, and a few others.
Would any of those somehow change things in my phone. I did pay for them.
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia hidden file in the directory where you placed your picture. Additionally unless you use a media scanning app to force media scan, you will need to restart your phone.

I think I am going to assume there is something wrong with my media scanner on my phone. It is always running and constantly popping up saying it is running, then force closing anything I have open.
Just got new Xperia Z, what is the best way to transfer contacts, apps and settings from my Xperia 10x ?
For contacts - use Google Account sync, they bare always backed up there (of course, if you turned on the contact syncing)
For apps - use Carbon or Titanium Backup
For settings - I doubt they are transferrable across different devices, might break some stuff

Select backup contacts in x10and then restore contacts in z.
Make sure to use the same memory card.

Thank you guys,
Hello guys,
Not sure if this has ever been brought up before, but I could not find it in my searches.
I have been using this App, SanDisk Memory Zone on my previous Galaxy Note, with no issues.
Im able to back up my phone to many cloud based services with ease, such as Box, Drop Box, Google ect.
I just recently re-installed this app on my new Xperia Z1, but noticed that it does not see my SD card, only internal Memory.
The SD card is the same card i had in my Note prior, and it was seeing it OK with-in the app, so i would not think its a SD Card issue.
Also, other Apps that manage files and SD cards see my SD card with no issues.
Would this be a App flaw with the Z1, or is it just the way the Z1 maps its SD cards so it does not show in the App?
Are there any known work around?
I have msg the creator of the App, but no response!
Id love to use this app again on my Z1 like i have on my Note, as i love to back up my phone data to my Box account that has 50gb of storage available!
Bump
Newer used that App before but maybe the App need Root, do you had Root on the previous Device?
I had root on the Note yes but I used this app on the note before it was rooted and it would show the sd card.

Try to use different one app or update your phone to the latest FW.

I don't really need another app. I just like this one the way it allowed me to back up all files to different cloud services. But not needed enough to use an other app.
My xperia z1 has the updated 4.3 that recently came out.
Oh well. Nothing major to worry about.
Thanks for the input.
I just got an update for the app, and now it sees my sd card!
Glad they fixed it!
Hi All,
I have an unrooted Z3 compact running Sony flavoured Marshmallow (6.0.1). I would like to be able to move multiple apps to the SD card simultaneously. I tried AppManagerIII but unfortunately this still makes me change the storage settings for every app individually and every time the app updates it reverts back to internal storage. This just isn't good enough, does anyone know of any better solutions? I'd prefer not to root but if that's the only way I'd be willing to do it.
Thanks for the help,
Jonny

link2sd has a good interface for this and similar app data size management. Root required for batch moving
