[Q] Larger caller ID? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I've just received my Xperia Z3 and so far I really like it. The step up from a Galaxy Nexus was quite big. One thing that I wish for though would be a bigger picture on caller ID. Is it possible without installing a new app?
Thanks for answering.

[Q] Android ROM similar to Samsung Galaxy S2 default

Hey people,
A friend of mine just got his new S2, and I got to play with it a little bit. Now I have to say, this works great! But since I'm still stuck to my HD2, I was wondering if there is a ROM out there that is similar to the S2's default look.
Unfortunatly, I can't show you guys a picture of how a homescreen would look, since I need 8 posts first...
But if anybody knows a ROM like this, I would love to know!
Thanks in advance,
Tim
Any solution ?
I am also interested in a custom ROM Galaxy S2 on HD2... Did you find something ?
nothing at all, sorry.

Impossible to end current call and answer incoming one ?

Hi guys!
I'm looking for a way to "hang up and answer" when I receive a call but already on another one...
(I found that thread in Nexus 4 forums talking about the issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2104668)
I think it is a weird thing Android does not support that. My last phone was a Sony Xperia Z and the Sony firmware included that option. Unfortunately, phone was poorly designed and not rootable (bootloader locked by carrier) so I pulled the tigger on Nexus 5 and would be delighted to see that feature coming back.
I would be willing to pay for an app also. if you're aware of one that would solve my problem on Android 4.4 (kitkat)
Thanks.
Check this video, at mark 1:16.
You will see Sony Xperia has the option "End current call and answer"
It's what I would like.
Event the Samsung Galaxy Mega has it

[Q] Some questions on the Galaxy SII Plus

241871833
Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the thread to post to, but I came accross this thread and feels like this is the place to post any SII Plus questions, correct if I'm doing something wrong.
I just bought a Samsung GS II Plus. Opinions, was it a good buy? I bought it for €179,99, as my budget was a bit tight. But there are several quad core available right now, especially the Wiko, which seem really nice.
I decided based on screen size (5" just feels huge!) and internal storage space (8Gb, 4 available to the user, which is quite disappointing). And of course, the price, which seemed like a good one, altough the specs aren't the most recent ones.
After buying it, used with Android ver 4.1.2 for a whole day and upgraded it to 4.2.2 as it was available.
Q1: What happened to the bubble lockscreen notifications with this update? They were replaced by a new kind of notifications that have absolutely no functionality at all.
Q2: Is it possible to have the bubble notifications back?
Q3: Will a Kitkat release be available to this phone?
Any answers you might provide are welcome.
TIA

You can change the lockscreen effect from the settings About the kitkat-you can try some custom roms bcoz i'm not really sure that we will receive official Kitkat
It's not the effect, but the notifications for unread SMS ans missed calls.

There are now many posts on the front page of this forum about this apparently being the case. (Just if you missed it)

request from developers" using android to perform a smartwatch task."

Hello experts.
i have a phablet " galaxy note 8" and another xperia p android
i have a problem
when i walk down the street and i get a call , i have to get the tablet out of my back bag , open the cover , and discover that it is an unwanted call.
and smart watches are ridiculously expensive.
im looking for an app that makes when i get a call on the tablet to see who is calling through the xperia phone ,just like a smartwatch , i think it is doable.
all i need is to see who is calling on the tablet through somthing that easly reachable.
and please do not refer me to any tablet talk or something that connects a tablet to a phone because it doesnt make it the other way around
i want to use the phone to make me see who is calling on my phablet " the phone here is the one that is being used as a smartwatch"
SMSreader is an app that can announce who is calling. If you don't want that then invest in a case with a window and magnet. The phone will display the information in the window without opening it. Otherwise you'll have to find another solution. That or have your calls forwarded to the smaller of your phones

HOW TO USE SAMSUNG CONTACTS APP ON SONY XPERIA

Hi All,
I am keen to know, can I use the contacts app from Samsung kitkat 4 on my Sony Xperia x compact?
The app was on my Samsung Galaxy s5 mini.
Apparently it's made by snap.inc.
CONTACTS BY SNAP.INC 2.2.22
The reason I like the app is because of the call log I use it for my work
Can someone help me get this app working on my Xperia running oreo 8.0
thanks

Isn't it easier to find another contacts app which is running natively on your current device and had a similar call log feature?
Maybe it is no longer located in the contacts app but in the diaper app.
My father who is 71 has been using the Samsung for years had to upgrade his phone. I wanted to use the apps he was familiar with. He cannot use Samsung any more because he wants to put the phone is his pocket and the screens are too big. He has 2 phones a work phone and a personal phone.
2 phones in one pocket. Old man hard to learn new things
