Sony Album app showing thumbnails also? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I noticed that since the last update, the Sony Album app is showing thumbnails as photos.
The thumbnails are very small files and thus very bad quality.
I already deleted the thumbnails several times via root browser but they keep showing up.
Also wipe app data or complete fresh install doesn't solve this.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Upgraded again and issue still solved, don't know what it was or how came but staying with the updated one unless it's showing thumbnails again!

Playstore not working

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.
Are you from Belgium?
anyone can offer some help? i had to repair the firmware & install everything all over again to get it to work. Now another xperia Z is having the same issue.

Have you installed any hacking mods installed that are connected to in-app purchases? If so, please remove them!

Titanium Backup Pro - No Convert to User app?

I recently updated my phone to 4.2.2 and I finally legally bought Titanium Backup Pro so i can be updated from time to time.
But for my unpleasant suprise, i can not find "convert to user app" option in Titanium Backup Pro 6.0.5.1. I looked everywhere, and I cant convert Facebook, Maps and other apps..
Any help?
Thank you

I have the same problem, can't find "convert to user app" anylonger in titanium backup... What do you mean with "long-press menu"? If you mean to press on an app then swipe to the right and then down: nope, its not there anymore...

this happened to me too.. after upgrading to 4.2.2, "convert to user app" menu is gone.. my TB version is 6.0.4
Same problem with Xperia Z and 4.2.2: no way to convert system app into user app.
Support contacted and still waiting for answer.

As I see it, some apps can be converted to user app, such as the Camera. Whereas some apps like "Album" cannot.
That's how it is for me.
So there is definitely an issue...
You are lucky, since SOME apps still can be converted... I can't convert any: see pic of "camera" ("convert to user app" should be second from the bottom but doesn't exist/show up anylonger).
I also wrote the developer... Lets see!

Convert to User
I am new to this but found it in TBU Pro 6.3.1 under [Special Features] Create "update.zip" This creates a CWM flashable zip file as a user app.
Hope this helps someone.
Hey, any news about this? I have the same problem, cant find the option to convert any app to user app
Then complain to the developer of TiBU.
The support email is listed on the Play store listing.
You will surely get more help than asking people here that are nothing to do with developing the app.

I have just updated to latest release 6.1.4, there is option to convert to system so but not user app.
I never really used that option I only used convert to system app.
Was it present in version 6.0.4

[Q] Camera and album crash

So I cleaned off caches and updated system applications in my phone, and now the camera application has dissappeared .
Can someone post the .apk for it, or help me to get it back?

The phone vibrates slightly once, then nothing. Also if I try to run motionshot, it crashes. I tried already updating the fw to 257 and it didn't help.
Edit: I got the camera app back, by going through every camera related application and removing updates to them. Now the camera crashes if I try to launch it...

Try to clear data for album app maybe?

This didn't help, however, I noticed that the album crashes as well. I tried deleting the thumbnails, but that didn't help neither.
So all other camera apps seem to work (Info-eye etc), but the normal camera and album crash. I will try to move my pictures to other folders tomorrow to see if it helps.

That's probably system but can't understand screenshot - use English.
This is English speaking thread and if you want someone help you - switch system language to English and take screenshot.

I'd say that you've been using this phone for a long time (assuming you didn't do a factory reset for a long time) and it's time to back your stuff up and put them on the computer/HDD and do a complete system reinstall using PC Companion/Flashtool and put your things back.
Or at least that's what I would do if I were you.
