Here is some pictures, illustrate what I meant
And what you can see, the only difference is on Xz it's chrome-1.apk
And Xz1 it's chrome-2.apk

Floating touch like on xperia sola?

Hey guys, its known that the sp has the same floating touch hardware as xperia sola. Sadly sony installed chrome as default browser wich doesnt support hovering. Can anyone of you install next browser or opera to test weather hovering over a link gives you a mouseover?
Also try weather hiverring on flipboard works like on sgs4. Please report here!
Thank you

I can scroll pages by hovering in chrome, but I don't think pop-ups like the Note 2 are possible.

Firstly,it is not any floating touch its a normal display and it happens due to glove mode and it we disable glove mode in display setting then there will be no floating touch

NO NO NO!!
Dont use that! Thats for gingerbread it will mess up your phone! What we are talking about is using the phone without touching the screen. This is included in the xperia sp already, no need for any mod i will give you instructions how to do that:
-make sure glovemod is enabled
-go to the lockscreen and hover over the screen a little bit, not to close and not to far away from it
-if you see the screen recognizing any touch keep that distance and try to unlock your phone without touching it
-enjoy using your screen without touching it
I come from the sola thats why i know that, the sola was the first device to feature glovemode, it came with the ics update.

Ah, that explains why glove mode didn't work after unlocking without gloves. That confused me a bit.
And yeah, Chrome doesn't recognize it as a hover. I'll try some other browsers...

I tested this on a couple of browsers (Boat, Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox, Next, Opera) and as far as I see the glove mode "hover" is simply interpreted as a single touch (opening the link) or long press (selecting text, giving options for opening in new tab, etc.).
The only browser that gave me a mouseover text (well, part of it anyway) on an image was Firefox.

Wait a minute. You tested this after following my instructions above right? You didnt get me. The instructions where for how you can use your phone without touching the screen, everywhere in every app with floating touch interpreted as single touch.
But when it comes to the browser hovering dont do that. Test the browsers with unlocking your screen normal, then hovering should be interpreted as mouseover on browsers that support it.
I guess i am gonna write a F.A.Q about Floating touch.

Huh, okay. I misunderstood then. Still, after unlocking the screen normally it didn't work either.
Anyway, I've just had a look at the Sony support forums and the question if the SP has Floating Touch has been answered that it doesn't. It has glove mode instead.
So it's not the browsers' fault after all.

Possible to port S4 camera software to Z?

It's just a thought, I don't think it's possible but nothing is impossible
Can it be done? It's more of a software issue any way and it would make the xperia even better
Xperia Z White

Ooh Ty. though he look photosphere like S4 or HTC one that run in XZ.

While the camera is pretty much the same, the stock S4 camera app runs on Samsung's proprietary framework.
I highly doubt that the camera app could be ported over.

I meant to say that the hardware is nearly the same. S4 uses the same camera hardware as Xperia Z. Read the post again, I think you misunderstood.

I thought they are removed because of Sony. They didn't want us to have/share them (yet).

Sony asked me to remove it because it was software in early stages

Did this reduce the noise in Xperia Z pictures? I didn't buy the phone because the processing artifacts were a turn off... I was going to wait for the Honami but if this software enhances the Z's camera output sufficiently I might be swayed.

Sony xperia z - 4.3

XPERIA Z 4.3 - Sony Select..Wont Connect.
:fingers-crossed: any idea...
Yes, it's been covered. (search would help).
Everyone is having intermittent issues, and not just on xz. It's most likely on sony's end. Give it time.

Yep, I thought at first it's with the XZ 4.3 update, but then I checked on my XZU and it's the same. Also Xperia for Facebook isn't working. I'm guessing it's on Sony's side too!
Does anyone have a problem with album and movie apps after update.
When to open mp4 files using movie apps, the screen is always "loading video" forever and the movies will not play. I need to force stop this program. It's also same with album apps, when open album, all the thumbnail is in black, only the last month picture that have thumbnail.
Does anyone have this problem? Is there anyway to solve this problem?
Album and movie are working perfectly for me.. Maybe you should do a full wipe before update

I have the same problem with album and wideo playback, i change Rom ihackers and monxidified and wont work, its all 4.3 Rom problem.
