Hi, I'm using Xperia TX with .197 firmware (unlocked BLoader). I noticed that after downloading images from the internet to my phone, the "album" didn't show those new images. I had to reboot the phone for them to show up. Is there any way to make the library auto-update or any magic button to update it?
:fingers-crossed: Thanks

Have you tried stopping the app, then relaunching it? I believe this will force a media rescan.(settings, apps, force stop)

thank you Baz, for reminding me of this workaround, I haven't seen this problem since my x10 days.
But it feels weird to be doing that everytime I download media from the net. It's a $500+ phone after all. Do you have this problem at all or is it just me?

I must admit I have not tried it yet, but I did notice that when I deleted a few images I had on my ext sd card they still showed up in album, perhaps it is unavoidable, otherwise media's scan would have to run constantly!?

Does anyone encounter applications being forced close eg; Gmail, Instagram and returning to the homescreen? I bought it today here in Thailand but the device itself was imported from Singapore. PS, it's C6603 running 10.1.A.1.350 guessing to be Singaporean firmware.
About Gmail problem, I think this problem is causing from the content inside your email. Some can be opened and some cannot (which the problem I found were mostly on email that contained Thai language and any email with attached files).
This should be a firmware or gmail app problem. Hope they will release a fix as soon as possible though cuz I got a serious problem in checking my mail while away from the office. :'(
I have no issue with Instagram so far. My advice is to try to change the display language to English. Hope this help !

Thanks for answering! Anyway, I already changed the system language to English(UK) but the IG still to be the same. Do you think flashing Xperia Z (C6603) 10.1.A.1.350 Original Sony Unbranded UK Rom will solve this problem?

in my opinion;
if after returning to home screen thr s no lag and problem with home screen animation and it works smoothly
so force closed is because of applications
(however not see yet force close in gmail and etc.)
and just say about settings
any change in stamina ! or developers option?

No, I didn't touch any of that.
You have to try a factory reset or repair via pc companion.

I did try a factory reset including set the system language as English since the first boot but the problem still persists.
What language are you using?
Try the default English after resetting the phone.

I am in same situation as you. I bought the phone for 2 weeks in Thailand which imported from Singapore (C6603 running 10.1.A.1.350).
I have found the problem like you that Gmail close itself in some emails, but this problem not happen with Gmail only. I have a problem with Google Reader when I want to read details in the reader from Sony Xperia Z (It is just happen in some page with Thai content.), I get a blank screen flash quickly on the screen then it goes back to the reader page. It is happen to Flipboard, GReader and Socialife too. I have tried to factory reset but It's can't solve any problems.
This is example pages that I have found problems when open from google reader.
(Sorry I cannot post outside links.)

I don't know how to fix it. :crying:
I confirmed that this problem happens with others application such as Socialife, or Email app too.
Most of Thai people are currently using XZ C6603 from HK or SG so I think this problem is probably in Firmware or the application and not with the phone itself.
I also tried factory reset 2 times already without touching anything in setting. ( Just add my gmail account and try check the email after reset )
As there is no solution to solve this problem now, I'll just wait to see if this problem still exist in 4.2.2 which Sony should be release soon.
For now, I would suggest that you open Gmail via Google Chrome Browser.
Perhaps, it should be fixed by 4.2.2 with in this month.
Report the issue to Sony.
I don`t wanna open new topic, so I will just reply here. I have same problem with Instagram. Just made an PC Companion repair and it is still same (FW .434). After trying to refresh in news, app just close it self and I am moved to homescreen. It is single app installed from fresh repair. I thought first that problems were with smaller soft buttons, then I though it is problem cuz of root, but now I see that problem is still there...
EDIT:
I found solution for Instagram. Problem starts with version 3.5.x (3.5.1 - 3.5.3). I downgraded to 3.4.5 and now it`s fine, no more FC.
Hi, anyone with a Somy Xperia Z have an issue with the voice recorder?
I can't film videos with the camera cause it gets an error. I can't use TrackID or Shazam, it continually asked to listen again, I can't carry out speech to text on messaging or on google now app! Anything voice related for any app is not working. Help needed!
I've reinstalled the phone from scratch with PC companion and repaired it but its happened again. Could it be an app using the recorder/microphone and its stopping everything else?
Me too
I have experienced this kind of problem while trying to use Google now's voice search, it works the first time, but if I switch to another app and try again it gets an error.
Voice recorder stops working, too
I noticed that if I kill Google now app, the microphone starts working again

Having the exact same problem. I've turned off Google Now but I still cannot use recorder or microphone-based apps.
Very frustrating.
Can anyone help? Please?

I am having this exact same issue, I think the common denominator is Google Now ...which process do you kill? I tried stopping 'Google Search' but that didn't resolve it. Always requires a reboot.
Does anyone know if this is limited only to Xperia Z phones? I imagine it would be more widespread if not.
deinstall the last google search update
Hi.
It seems to be a problem of the last update from Google Search (Google now).
I just deinstalled the last update from Google Search apk and everything works like before.
I hope they fix it with the next update of Google Search.

Some people are just idiots, if you can't or won't help there is no need say anything to show us your ignorance, just ZIPPED!!
Well, to the point
I almost went crazy with this problem, and happens in two differents phones, Ion and A.
suddenly inexplicably the mic for voice record and video record stop working right?
with lots of patience, root and eight complete backups I have found the guilty (at least for me),
Was not google, sony or the firmware.
Its a small and useful app called.....................MAGICJACK, as soon as its installed and their services started, the mic problem came out, my solution was disable, freeze or uninstall this app and the mic work again.
Maybe some of you guys have the same app or another for internet calls like this, try and let me know if helps
video call and record voice problem fix
Yep you right, just uninstall the magicjack app and you will be fine, but anyone can tell other similars like magicjack
Yeap!
4.2.2 firmware fix this issue, so when you update you can use these kind apps again
If you still running 4.1.2 and you can root your Xperia™ then dont uninstall the app just freeze it all the time except when you need it

Hi everyone,
First post here. I did a search for this problem but couldnt find anything...
Purchased this phone a couple of weeks ago. So far pretty good, battery life is great but one problem my handset has is that the Album constantly crashes. Every single time I open the album, within 5 seconds it will give the error message, "Unfortunately, Album has stopped". I've restarted the phone, installed all the updates and its getting very frustrating now. I cant even keep the album open long enough to send a picture via whatsapp. I've tried installing QuickPic but for some reason it hasnt 'transferred' all the media that I have and it seems most programs use Album by default.
I've attached a screenshot of the problem (which I somehow managed to upload before the 5 second mark and error came up again).
If anyone can suggest the solution to this I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. It says 'All this app's data will be deleted permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases etc'. Does this mean I will lose all my pictures/videos?
Also there are two 'clear data' options, one for storage and one for cache. Were you referring to one in particular, or both?
Thanks again.
Clear data and clear cache
From here
And no. You will lose no photos or videos which are on your internal storage/sdcard.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did lose a few pictures, but not sure where exactly they were stored.
The crashes stopped for a few hours but has since returned.
Well this is smth new. I have just bought my new z3c and its working all fine. Im installing apps no prblm, until suddenly the phone won't install anymore! The page to install the app comes up and the cancel button works but the install button doesnt click!!
I can only think to blame AVg bcuz I had activated it just before this prblm happened. And there is no.deactivate option on AVG.
UPDATE: restarted phone and killed AVg; prblm still exists
Anyone?
Please?
Reset the phone while saving your data
Does it happen on Wi-Fi, mobile data, or both?

Yes, the only solution I came to was to reset the phone. Not the best option since I had to do everything I had before again. Anyways, it's okay now.

I don't think that would be relevant to the problem. The problem is in parsing the apk.

I once found that if I limit background data on an app called "Media" (in settings, data usage), I could not download any apps over mobile data from Google Play as long as the background data of that app was limited. It may not have been the case for the OP but who knows?
The problem is back again!
The problem is back again!!
And Sony doesn't even have online support and it's page doesn't even address the problem.

Nope. The only solution I found was to be patient and wait. After a couple of hours, or a day or two I try pressing the Install button once again and it works. I just let it off my mind for some time until the night, or the next (couple of) day(s). Interestingly, this isn't a problem if I'm installing directly from Google Play which installs the app itself. That's why I think it could be a security module or something.

I have screen filter, but I reckon this problem existed from before installing screen filter. Plus, I reset my phone once which also means deleting Screen Filter, but the problem still exists.

Uninstall updates to google playstore app. The reason it worked when you reset your phone was it reset all apps back to their factory settings. Then apps would install until google play updated itself again. So try just uninstalling updates to google play, worked for me. Good luck!
