[Q] Apps Link issues - HELP please! - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, this is my first time to use android. Coming from BB OS and IOS, I have no problems linking my social media friends list on my phone's contacts... But with Xperia Z3C now, profile pics on my contact list is blurred. Pic is not cleared. I asked the store on where I bought the phone and I was told that this is normal for Android phones? Is this true? If not, how can I improve the clarity of profile pics on my contacts list (linked from social media apps.)
Thank you!

Spotify

Any idea when the Spotify will be available?

Thanks!
No news on the official Spotify client yet, but "Droidify" an unofficial client showed up in the Android Market today. It's free, but like all 3rd party applications that use the Spotify API you need a Spotify Premium account to use it.
I've been using it all afternoon and it's really very good. It works even with just a 3G connection, you have access to all your playlists and can create new playlists. Album art is displayed when you play tracks and you can even read artist bios. It can run in the background and even when the phone is in standby.
It's not quite as polished as the official client will undoubtedly be and it doesn't allow for offline syncing of playlists, although it does cache songs so frequently played songs shouldn't need to be downloaded in their entirety every time.

Working very well here
Not tested much on 3G, crappy reception in my flat.
Can't find this on the market, maybe been pulled?
Pulled yes, (but works if it's already installed)
Can someone email me the apk? It's no longer on the market.

I sent a DM with it included.
Can someone please send me the link? Either as mail or PM? Eager to try this app. Thanks
Can someone send it to me also? Thank you in advance.
Yeah, I'd also like a copy of the APK if possible. PM me if you can help me out ^^

Just to say, I found that the app force closed on me every time I tried to log in. But, after adding just a single playlist through the Spotify-PC-app, and tossing a few songs in it - the force closing stopped. So, if anyone else is experiencing this, try adding a playlist with a couple of songs.

Apparently its just been pulled from the Market.

-- oops, just noticed I am rather late with the news, sorry --
Only did some quick testing when I got the app, but now it seem have a 50/50 chance of playing the selected song and logging me out when I press play... Probably blocking something somewhere
Can't wait for an official one
can you send it to me also? im already premium. Thank you in advance.
I would also love a link

Yes you can, once you've linked an album you can right click on the cover-art and copy it. This can then be pasted into the zune software.
I am subscribing to this thread so please ask me any questions you have about ZST here.
Yo could you make you Installer NOT install it CURRENT USER
I don't run with admin rights
i install your app
it's sitting in my admin account start menu not all users
also means it looks at zune library under said admin account, which is empty
Cheers
thanks for this program.
Is there any chance for support for .m4a files in the future?

Unlikely, but not impossible. Don't hold out.
I find that while I can link albums with no issue, I can never seem to be able to un-link them. Even after un-linking and refreshing, even re-scanning, the album is still linked to something that I have unlinked it from.
Any way to resolve this?
Also, thanks for the app. I have found it to be very useful and have been using it for quite a while now. =]

The problem is the zune software doesn't want to work how ZST is trying to make it work, so quite often you get problems where things don't update how you would expect.
The number one fix for problems like this, and this goes for linking too, is to turn off ‘Automatically retrieve and update album art and metadata.’ in the zune settings. See the FAQ: https://github.com/leetreveil/Zune-Social-Tagger/wiki/FAQ

What if I already have that disabled? I always manage my own tags and I have that feature disabled so Zune doesn't touch a thing.
What else could prevent it from un-linking?
Im a new Windows Phone owner for about a week now. Loving it. Zune Social Tagger is great but what about people that dont listen to mainstream music and not in the Zune database? I think there should be the option to use your own artist background and album cover. Half the time my album cover is of better quality then the one provided from the database and it gets replaced with Zunes copy. There is a program for the ZuneHD that lets you use your own. Maybe for your next release to include this feature.
Thanks.

Thanks. I know about the tool your mentioning and I don't wish to include something like that with ZST.
Been working on .m4a (mp4) support and a few other things. Expect a release in 1/2 weeks!
Even with disabling automatic metadata, no luck here, always getting a zero album found. And don't tell me it won't find the latest Jamiroquai, it's in the zune DB!

Can you find the album you're looking for in the zune marketplace via the zune software?

"Xperia inside Facebook" does not work at all

Hi everyone,
I got my brand new Xperia Z yesterday and, coming from an old Wildfire S, I absolutely love the speed and smoothness of this phone. I have set it in the last few days and everything works apart from the "Xperia inside Facebook"-syncing-thingy (I hope that's what it's called in English as in German it is "Xperia für Facebook") which is the on-board programme to sync contacts, statuses, calendar and stuff, if I am not mistaking (and obviously I cannot tell as I cannot use it at all)
The problem is this:
When I want to activate this I have to confirm that the app can use my facebook information. After that I have to choose whether the app should inform my friends about me using it. No matter if I click "confirm" or "skip" here, always the following happens: I get a message saying "Error. Try again later"
I did try later, it never worked. I also
- deleted FB-account on my phone
- restarted phone
- deleted FB and restarted
- deleted FB-update in case the error was because of a new FB version
- checked security settings in FB
- tried with Wifi and 3G
It doesn't work at all! My brother has the same phone and he just tried once and it worked! Really annoying!
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Cheers.
So did you add facebook from the settings sync menu?, there is also an xperia with facebook, which is mostly for syncing your social life feeds, for me in the latest ROM .434 this no longer works, on my phone now just shows No Posts, or maybe I have no friends anymore.

Hey,
Yes, that's what I mean... Xperia with Facebook... I tried to sync that, but I just can not log in! I always get the message "Error. Try again later"... I can sync with normal FB, though. I just Xperia with FB was better as I could also sync calendar an stuff...
I am still on .350 software version of the XZ, as my provider does not support .434...

Sorry I can't help you, because I have not had an issue with configuring this manually or through the wizard when you first setup the phone. Although now have discovered why social life was not working

Is there actually a way to configure it manually? Because I used the wizard as well, but it, as I said, crashes on the final step and I have no idea why! But thanks for your answer, anyways.

Adding it manually via settings and accounts, add account. I would remove it from there, then reboot the phone, then use this method to add it back, and see how you go.

Contact pixelated images

Hello!
Previously had the HTC Sensation XE and am now migrated to the HTC one
On the ONE all contact pictures are displayed pixelated. All the apps, which should solve the problem do not work. Also, I turned off the sync with Google without success.
Do anyone have any advice or a solution?
cheers
PS: On the Sensation Xe all contact pictures were displayed without problems!
If you have the contact photos stored on your phone then re-choose them one by one it will solve the problem.
Some of my contacts I synchronised them from their facebook accounts and their photos were clear but the ones synchronised from Google were not
Hope this helps.

If you don't sync, then that is the issue.
Because the resolution of the screen is high, HTC made it display the low-res images with the pixellated look. When you sync the contacts with facebook or google then the high-res images are downloaded and displayed without the pixellation effect

I can only say that this is what happened for me. When I synchronized, then the pictures became clear.

This happens when the contact pic are of low resolution..try manually putting a new contact image for someone..and check it then..it will be clear..not pix-elated..
this is a well known issue with google, if you attach a picture from your gallery the resolution will stay. after sync with google, the picture gets downsized and resulting in low res pictures. had this issue with my past android phones and it's all over the net. some pics will "retain" their quality, but not as much as attaching pictures for the first time, you can see low res pictures when you click the contacts and see them in circles. hope this helps :cyclops:

[Q] Backing up "album"

Now, I want to backup my "albums" automatically, or as soon as a picture is added to them. Now, I have dropbox instant upload etc.. but those types apps only upload a new camera capture or screenshot. I'm looking for something that will do this, but will also save the other pictures in my "album" which include MMS pictures saved to "album". received pictures through facebook etc... Or is there no such app and I must manually transfer these off my phone?
Thanks

There s apps for External Cloud Storage that instantly backup every media in ur phone into ur personal cloud

remote cloud server like google.drive or box, dropbox & etc are limited to some kind of backup.

Do you have saved MMS/Facebook pictures on your phone? Does it backup these too? IThe app pages suggests is only backs up your camera roll (photos taken/screenshots).
