[Q] Android 4.3 Xperia - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have (little) question about the following:
I have updated my phone to a Android 4.3 ROM, now i really want the Sony Walkman app, and the sony album app and movies,
I searched for a flashable ZIP, and found something, I flashed it, i saw the apps, but the only thing what was working was the Movies app, ( i got Sony Walkman has stopped working, When opening) and i guess it is because i am at Android 4.3,
Are there any ways to get Xperia Walkman app on Android 4.3?
Also another question: If i already have 4.3 on my phone, do i need to flash the FTF Files for 4.3 again etc. ( and wipe everything etc.)
( i know normally you dont have to, because you are already at that Android version, but now because of this is 4.3, an unreleased version, i was wondering if this was the case too, because i dont know if all ROMS are sharing one Android version, or if every rom uses a different one
Thanks for helping me out!

Lost Music Unlimited ability in walkman app after update 4.3

Before update i have fully integration "music unlimited" in walkman app, now i don't have any option to activate again this feature. I try to add sony accounts in settings, "Sony playmemories" and "sony entertaiment network" but no results.
I think maybe its a regional limitation of my 4.3 room.
Expecifically i flash this room. (wiped everything)
C6903_14.2.A.0.290_Generic Central Europe 1276-4314.ftf
Any advice?
PD: Ups i think this post isn't in the correct forum. Sorry
Central Europe roms dont have any of the unlimited Sony services integrated in the media apps. Only way to get them back from my own experience is to flash a Generic UK or US/CA roms.
Which rom did you have before you flashed 4.3 Central Europe?
I always delete it when am rooted what do exactly i still don't know i had Xperia z before

You should flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572195
It's the most complete customization and has no bloatware (besides the regular Sony services).

[Q] New 4.3 Android os keeping phone awake

Hi, if anyone could help me it'd be much appreciated i have tried two different roms running the new 4.3 sony firmware but in both cases my phone seems to stay awake with android os being at the top of the battery drain list. for some reason or the other i is not allowing the phone to sleep, i believe it may be kernel related but am unsure. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone know of a way to fix this. any help would be much appreciated

Thank you for your quick response but that won't fix it as as far as I know I'm the only one having this problem on a freshly flashed fw with not even my Google account set up
I'm having the same problem.
At the moment it's on 57% of resources used. While the one below is only at 14%.
It's not all the time though... Some days it uses this much and other days it's just normal

Personally I would like to see something similar to what BetteryBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector show. On the main screen show Google Services, but when we click it for more information it would be nice to see a breakdown of exactly what service within Google Services is using up the CPU, battery, etc ,not only u have this issue even ur using google apps or not its still working on background .so, i disabled "Google Play Services", cleared the cache of all Google Related Apps, also Uninstalled All Google Related Apps, and it seems to solve the issue...:fingers-crossed:
Fasbook and Chrome drains the battery also really much. Delete all share apks and social engines with Titanium Backup or a root browser. Before I deleted some apks I don't had more than 3.5 hours Screen on time. Now every time 4+ hours. Once up to 5.5 hours.
Bloatware drains the Battery really much.
And yeah mtayabkk is right, Greenify some apps.

see i think that may be why im using a c6602 so
I have a similar problem, still trying to figure out what's causing it.
Conclusion
Ok guys ive drawn to a conclusion that the c6603 ftf file just does not go well with the c6602 model, maybe because of the radio of the c6603 model using LTE. But im not sure so if anyone with a c6602 phone wants 4.3 without battery drain youll just have to wait till sony releases it and someone makes an ftf of it
Never mind guys I reset back to 4.2.2 with ftf factory reset there flashed existence z then the stripped.ftf and now I seem to be getting no problem anyway thanks for all the suggestions

URL handling problems Xperia Z

EDIT: Thanks for helping me out all. Flashed another rom, that fixed the weird problems.

I'm running Android 4.3 on my Xperia Z (SuperHanss' excellent Rooted, Deodexed & Zipaligned Stock rom) and when I try to open the following url's, which are Dutch radio shows, I'm unable to load them.
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SpijkersMetKoppen/~3/21dFPFdDvl0/411633.mp3
http://radiobox2.omroep.nl/audiofragment/file/146462/fragment.mp3
They use a protected url that transforms when you open it in a web browser, on a pc for instance, but it won't work on my Z. However, it does work on other Android devices, like the Huawei P6 and the Z2, so I'm wondering if this is a problem with the Xperia Z and they way it handles 'protected' url's or if it has something to do with the ROM I'm using.
Can anyone please try to load the shows (please, only try when you're on wi-fi, as the files are several mb's) to see if it works?
Many thanks!

[Q] How to extract camera apps from official D5503 zip

I have CM12 and tweaking it to suit,
I've found and installed the Walkman app which works beautifully but cannot find the Sony camera apps package.
I have the stock generic 5.0.2 zip file which contains everything to flash it onto my Z1c... so I'm guessing if I know how to unpack this data I should be able to find what is needed to install the Sony camera apps to install and work inside CM12....???
Can anyone help me understand if I'm on the right track and if an extraction is possible...?... Flashtool SIN editor....??? but from there I'd need instructions..
Unless someone has already done this and I'm not looking in the right place....
Thanks in advance
Nick
First, this is not the right place to ask, you have to go to xz1 Q&A fourm. Second, it is not impossible to make stock lollipop sony camera app works on cm12 but it is not as easy as you think, you need to have a huge knowledge of porting apps first wich is quite hard.

Enabling update center again?

Well I noticed that after flashing my xperia z1 to lp that the built in update center no longer works, it just always days updated. Even when new so versions come out it still different find them.
As of now I have the z5 system apps installed. I'm not sure that hinders anything but yea. I like back on kk when it said there's a new version of this so out.
