1. Give us more info
2. Go to camera, open it, and click "camera switch" icon betwen flashlight and option button.
3. This is android, its the same on every phone,dont pay attention on this so much because this is normal behaviour. But if you still want to remain closed, use greenify app from google play store.

1-i found that many people had this vibration issue with xperia z1 and they had to fix it in sony company or replace it with another one.
2-what i meant by 'i cannot find it' is that the icon does not appear i know its place between the flash and camera settings but it does not appear there. Does the front camera needs to be instaled? Does is it need a driver or an app? i need to use the camera and i would really appreciate it if you help me make it work.
3-thank you i will try that app from play store.
Place pictures of your camera app please
this is the picture
Try to switch to Manual....
It doesn't work. Even in Diagnostics > test device.
Try *#*#7378423*#*# to check front camera. It seem that camera is faulty or just ROM that disable it...
Try to reflash full FTF .108 using FlashTool (latest version +latest FlashTool driver)
Invalid code

It's mean *#*#SERVICE#*#* or *#*#7378423#*#*
If your firmware cannot detect front camera, try to factory reset first
If still doesn't work, try repair via PC Companion or Flashtool with full wipe ( full wipe = delete all user data)
If problem still persist, you need to send back your phone to repair
I backed up my photos and videos using Sony pc companion i repaired my phone and still vibration and front camera do not work like i have to send the phone back but unfortunately i have no warranty i guess i'll have to use it without vibration and front camera (it is probably broken).
Now i have another question please i want to know how to install apps dirrectly to SD card and move installed apps there. Android 4.4.4

I had a problem with my galaxy note n7000. The problem is on camera.
When using the camera in the dark flash turned on but when the picture is taken turns off right before the picture is taken. And leaving me with a dark picture. So I think the problem is on timing of flash.
??? Does anyone know, how to fix this problem?
is the phone rooted? you can try using the camera with an app like camerazoom fx.

Try to use the option of torch flash (a type where the flash will be perpetually on) try such options. Is the phone rooted...answer this question!)

yes I have rooted. (I have told it on my second post)
On torch flash it works but it keeps flash ON until photo is taken. On any other option it didn't work.
I want to make it work on other options like auto, or flash ON option. Any idea?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Well u can try reinstalling the camera.apk in the /system folder. Else if the torch flash works well it's ok isn't it?

if there is no other option than flash torch than it is also enough. but I have noticed that on flash torch the flash is not much brighter...
AND one more question
will camera flash problem be fixed if I buy and replace camera?
thank you Varad297 for your help
Well it's true that torch flash isn't that bright. And i don't think a new camera can do it. But if your phone falls in warranty then you surely can unroot and send it to samsung service. Looks more of a software problem, and also a quite unique one too! Suggest u to private message some if the experts at xda for better help.
Hi guys i just somehow side loaded the stock gallery and camera app to my XSP as some of you know i haven't been able to install apps from insufficient storage error so after playing around i managed to get it done via APK. Now when i use the camera button our XP has been blessed with it still opens the stock xperia camera app. is there anyway to change this? i do have a rooted phone
Thanks for putting up with my hail of noobish questions but it is appreciated. Cheers guys

You can disable the Stock one and use the thirdparty one you have installed.
You can not open the camere with the camera button when you have multiple camera apps installed.
Atleast I cant.

hello,
In the dial pad I don't have the auto complete working, no proposition of a contact when I enter a known phone number.
I'm on 207 firmware but I'm (trying) making a slim version, so I may have deleted an app related ...
Any idea of what app ?
I din't find any option for that in settings.
Or a 207 bug ? probably not ...
thanks
[EDIT] So, do not delete SmartSearch.apk
Never make any changes to your phone or your ROM before making backup I am also making a custom ROM which has all features but I always get bigger errors than u.
Anyways for your problem try using a app from play store it will fix the problem ??

Launch the Phone app, tap the icon for the menu, and select Settings. A few items down you'll see an option for dial-pad autocomplete; check the box next to it. Most likely, that's the "problem".
The solution suggested above me, using "an app" (which one?) from the Play store or w/e, doesn't make any sense by the way...Just saying.

Damn, I don't have such menu in Phone app (3 vertical points icon), only :mask calls journal, delete calls, and filter calls journal
And on the stock 205 firmware, same thing (an other xperia sp, but autocomplete working).

Well, I do backups at every critical step in deleting apk's. The question is wich one give dial-pad autocomplete.
I also saw that AOSP 4.3 gives an option for this in Settings/Calls, but it's not present in Xperia ...
After a Factory reset, same thing.
So, an app is missing in my /system/app, or it's a 207 firmware bug
Will continue to investigate ... arrff ...
Dialer, contacts, phone
The only ones I can think of.
Back to stock 207 and it's working ...
Apk envolved in that will be hard to locate. Making a diff between stock and my Slim ROM does not let appear an obvious apk envolved ...
And the guilty is .... SmartSearch.apk !
Quite obvious actually ...
Hello,
I am trying to add apps to my Z3+ device remotely, via play.google.com
I cannot see/get to add my device to the list of registered devices. No idea what to do to fix this.
Can anyone help?

I got exact same problem (factory unlocked UK Z3+). I suspect it is Signing into Sony services during setup that caused it but I can't (yet) be bothered to do a factory reset to test the hypothesis.
Do you also see "device may be monitored" on the notifications pull-down?
My phone is on 5.0.2 I'm hoping for an update soon that save me from effort of factory reset.
I also have the same problem. Kinda weird

Also at one point the Play Store on the device considered it a "work" phone and the design was a darker green. I signed out of Xperia services, cleaned Google caches, signed out of Google and signed back in, rebooted, and now I get the normal Play Store (my apps, usual shade of green). But still it doesn't show up in Android Device manager so cannot install apps from desktop browser.
I bought the phone from new so I know its origin is trustworthy.
Forget where, but I read it is a bug with signing into the Xperia services during setup (also led down the 'baidu' China rabbit hole!) - which is why I believe a factory reset and avoiding Xperia sign-in may solve the problem - but the problem isn't really big enough for me to bother. I guess the Xperia service installs some profile certificate and munges up somehow.
My play store is a darker green and says "my work apps" in the left side menu.
Ok, sound about right with the my Xperia solution. Unfortunately also I don't have the energy for a factory reset
Ohh I thought that was a new thing with Play store. I have the darker green and it also says My work apps... Weird, I like the dark green more though [emoji14]
Mine still shows up in play store Web with the name E6553

I had this problem when i flashed the UK version to my phone, i'm sure is related to, because it was resolved changing the rom to another region...
Picked mine up yesterday, UK unlocked. Also says Work Apps and does not show when remote sending applications to it.

I am hearing that the newest firmware build does fix all of these issues. However, I cannot 'see' the update yet
Newest update fixed everything for me. You can download and install it through pc companion

I don,t know how to really call it, but how to disable the Google news feed on the swipe left home?
Another problem is sending a contact shortcut to the homescreen. it says its already there bu its not.
Lucky i didn,t get this phone myself, its UI is just horrible ****.

If you do not like the UI change it or get rid of the mobile. For you it is horrible but for most of users not. It is a matter of taste.
Good luck with it.

Thx, very helpful
use a third party launcher to get rid of google page (lawnchair launcher 2,nova launcher)
and make sure you haven't locked homescreen when adding contact shortcut
I accidentally found a way to remove the Google feed.
I tried installing 'Breeno feed' from APK mirror. The phone required rebooting before it appeared on the left of my homescreen.
Most of the features didn't work properly, probably due to my phone being from the UK. So I uninstalled it (on app menu shows as 'Quick Glance').
After uninstalling it, Google feed no longer appears on my home screen, in fact I can't swipe left at all now
It stayed gone after a reboot and hopefully won't cause any issues.
Just thought I'd share this info and hope it can help someone.
After another reboot today Google feed reappeared..
So I just quickly repeated the steps and it's gone again. I guess it doesn't remain after a reboot.
Hi I've upgraded to this phone today from my find X2 pro and I saw this thread so I extracted the Smart Assistant apk from the find x2 installed it on the find x3 and it works fine but you only get weather, calendar and step counter features with my apk I've attached below if any of you want it.
Edit: there's a bug with weather not updating but otherwise it's better than having google on it I guess
Install apk and reboot.

Yh it doesn't update for me either I'll have to let people know that
There is another solution for disabling it completely which was shared by wedaxi on reddit:
Hello, maybe it's late to leave an answer but this is how I removed the google feed completely from the home screen.
You need to enable developer tools on your phone: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
Download Android Studio on your computer (this is the easiest way to install adb wich you will need, but you can search how to install adb independently)
Connect your phone to the computer with usb cable (you can also connect the phone wirelessly but the cable is the easiest method https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb)
Once you are connected use this command from the computer console to disable google feed app
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This only disables the app, it does not uninstall it, to do that you probably need to root the phone and I just don't recommend it.
I'm sorry if this method is not the easiest, this is what I did after not finding any other solution and It works.
However the Goolge-App and Lens won't work afterwards!
Hey there,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers
