This is a known issue if you have unlocked bootloader.
Some people have gotten it to work, but this seems random.

I had this with the FR FTF, Commercial and Journalist fixed it.

I'm having this issue. Very frustrating. I can't find a download for a commercial or journalist link. If I find one, do I have to do the whole process of clearing, flashing rom, power off, and then flashing FTF again, or do I just re-flash with the new ftf?

Just flash the FTF, the default settings will wipe everything for you

Nothing

Fixes for non working camera
1) Clear data for ALL camera related apps in settings
2) Do a factory reset
3) If rooted, enter recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, reboot
Start with doing (1), see if it works, if not try (2), see if it works then try (3)
Only if all 3 of these options do not work should you try a full reinstall.

Mine just no focus
I can take pic. I am on lb

Thank you - fixed. Even asked if I wanted it to detect the APN for me! Anyone know how to invoke this function again because I reset the APN hoping to connect to the carrier rather than the provider APN, but it just deleted it!

It seems I've lost root, and also have no recovery. Any quick guides on how to install a recovery or reroot without having to reinstall rom again?

Those will likely do nothing, the error comes from mm-qcamera, which is part of low level libs, clearing dalvik cache is almost always useless. A factory reset won't affect this issue either.
I'm guessing some FTFs carry different versions of camera libs.

yes flashing the commercial-journalist version fixed the issue for me but I lost root and recovery. However, I used fastboot to flash Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-681_v02.img and then flashed the latest Super Su from the new DooMLoRD recovery to re-root the device.

Hi,
after update to 4.4.2, my camera freezes after a few shots.
I made the step 1, rebooted the phone, and now it seems to be ok.
Thanks a lot.

i tried to flash a different firmware on my phone but still the same , icons become unresponsive after i set it up. i found out every time i put the animation to off thru developers settings my icons becomes unresponsive. i can only put it to .5x and everything is responsive.
Two observation found:
1. It is launcher specific problem, more specifically Sony launcher problem. As you said unresponsive when disable animations, and interesting it also happens to modded Xperia launcher too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103403
2. It is responsive when you click on the upper left hand corner of the icon.
3. 3rd party launcher works fine with all animations off.
4. This situation only happens after booting with animations off. If you boot it with animation on and turn off without rebooting, it still works fine.
So I guess it should be a bug of the Sony launcher...

"Android is upgrading" and phone.apk DPI

Hey guys wanna check if anyone's experienced this and if anyone has a fix for these issues.
Firstly, after rooting, I noticed that I always get a message saying "Android is upgrading" every reboot. I've tried foxes suggested in other threads of other phones but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
The second issue is upon changing the dpi in build.prop to 320, the phone.apk and dialer in contacts.apk messes up in the sense that there is no call button. I've used App Settings to change the individual dpi of each app back to 480 but the call button is not restored. Only when build.prop is 480 does it come back.
Anyone can help with the above issues? :/ can't find anything in the forums about these.

Which ROM are you using, because almost all of the ROM installs advise to factory reset and delete cache etc, in which case I don't think you should not get upgrading apps message on first boot.
Something is not right with your delvik cache, this normally only occurs when you clear your delvik cache. I would suggest backup, factory reset, reinstalling a ROM, then root.

I'm on stock. I only rooted using Bin4ry's tool and that was all. The only things I did extra was flash black soft keys and flash White Balance with TWRP. I've done a full factory reset before, even using PC companion to repair and re-install the firmware but this still occurs.

This is the same as "wiping dalvik" in CWM or TWRP right? Doesn't seem to work. I've re-flashed the firmware and the root doesn't seem to give any issues. It's not TiBu like other threads for other devices have mentioned either. I think it's Xposed that caused it. I used it to install App Settings which lets me change individual app settings. Will try it out again and see what happens.
EDIT: Okay it seems to be the flashing of the soft keys to make it black.
You have to delete the. Odex files for the black navbar mod

T9 not working on stock dialer .136

I used Nut's method of updating to .136 and discovered the stock dialer does not use T9 for contact search anymore. For example if I wish to call Jason, I would type 52766 and a list of my contacts with the name Jason would be shortlisted. This does not happen anymore. Is there a way to fix this other than using a 3rd party dialer?
Did you try a factory reset after update, sometime this clean the phone after update.

Factory reset AFTER update? Oh, I didn't do that. What I did was before flashing .136, I cleaned out all the cache and internal storage then did a factory reset.
Ok how do I do a factory reset in TWRP? I can't find that option.

It's working! Just have to go through hours of customising the preferences of my apps again. I'll have to keep testing the phone function after each app install to pinpoint the one that breaks it.

[HELP] System ui is gone

So, my z is on mooke 4.4.1 and first it received no signal so I rebooted it and surprisingly it got longer than usual. And then the status and the nav bar were missing. So I wiped the dalvik cache and cache but theres no change. I've rebooted my phone multiple time including disabling all xposed modules and there's no change. And no, I don't have expanded desktop enabled. And I know that yhere's another thread that have similar problem but I found it to be lacking of info so I decided to make a new one. Please guys help me I can't bear with this condition.

Done it, still no luck
try doing a complete FTF restore using flashtool then flash your desired rom again, going through all the rooting procedures again.
although this sort of issue happened to my HTC Incredible S and later it became obvious that the mainboard died.

Probably if you Repair via PC Companion you will lose Root so I think there is a problem with the Rom. Try instal it again and wipe everything.

It will be close to impossible as the issue can be an App that causes the problem or can be the System corrupted. Also you are using a Pre-Rooted Rom so repair with PCC can complicate the situation. I don't see at the moment any other solution. Maybe someone who had this problem know how to fix it, if so.
