This question has been asked but the ONLY reason i am asking it is because one of them is for car accident documentation and the other had no answer and was asked for an unknown reason. (i am a new user so i am unable to link to these two threads.):crying:
Well I know their are "Secret Video Recording' apps out their although the main reason for these seam to be use surreptitiously and my reason is something for something I don't want to hide and actually be able to check on it every once and a while.
Here is what i am talking about Being that i have the dock and the t300 has a rear facing camera i wish to utilize them both at the same time. Here is the scenario: I am in class attending a lecture and although i am a fast typist I cant capture things like slides or pictures in general for my notes. I wish to be able to Video Record the lecture while taking notes at the same time. Alas i have been unable to find software to do this. I have been told before that i should use a "secret" recorder and set up the shot first with my normal camera app. Although this does not let me 1.) go to the video intermittently and make sure what i want is still in frame, people move and sometimes the tablet does while i am taking notes all it takes is someone bumping me from the side or for someone in front of me to move and the rest of the video might as well be an audio recording . and 2.) stop recording easily when its not needed (breaks pauses during lectures and the random jokes or anecdotes some teachers like to tell) not having this ability i have to edit the video or deal with the extra content.
In all I am pretty sure you get my idea I wish i could create a mod to the camera app that lets me put the recording in the background and takes notes I am no DEV but to me it sounds easy although if it was i bet it would be available already.
THE most Possible BEST thing to add to this would also be able to have the option to monitor the recording in a small Samsung like super window but with a live feed not just playback so without having to change the entire screen i can quickly check its progress in a small window.
Sorry for the long post I am just wondering if this could be even possible I would pay for an app like this as currently the only way i can get video is by using two devices although the higher position of the tablet camera is ideal.
Thank you for reading this and I hope this sparks someones interest and possibly with the amount of people highly intelligent when it comes to these matters I know if it is possible someone or someones here can create it. Again that is if it is possible, personally i don't see why not but if i was that smart i wouldn't need to ask. I would just create the app.
Hi all, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this. But I hope the Mods will replace it where appropriate.
I just was wondering if there is a way to stop that annoying reloading of web pages when I push the browser to background process in my old Android 4.0.3 device. It so consumed data. Is there any way to keep the pages in memory or something?
Thanks
Hi,
As far as I know, it's because of Android cleaning unused programs from memory (RAM) when it's getting full, and on lower specs phones it happens pretty quickly, although I don't have accurate numbers here.
It's a core feature of Android, so I'm not sure there is a way to bypass, limit it or whitelist programs, perhaps on rooted phones, but I'm eager to know if it's possible.
But, is it the same on newer devices? I hope not, cos it's so lame.
So that's it... I just can't do anything unless I root. Hmmm...
Thanks for your comment though.
I can't answer for sure, but on all my devices it's the same problem, even under KitKat.
I suppose my RAM isn't enough, but someone would have to confirm if the problem still exists on high end devices like S4 or G2.
I don't know what you'll get here by rooting your device, cause all of mine are rooted but sometimes I still get the problem.
Well at least you can delete some bloatware so it's never a bad idea if you feel confident rooting the phone.
For repro, I usually do this, between each step, just press the Home button to return to the home screen :
- Launch a heavy game such as Dead Trigger 2 or Real Racing 3, or even a smaller one like Subway Surfers
- Launch Chrome, open something simple like Google News for mobiles
- Open the camera, no need to take a pic but just open it and go back to home straightaway
- Open Gmail, or another mail app
- Open Play Store
- Try to go back to your game (or browser)... on all of my devices I lose my current level, as it's as I've force quitted... yeah that sucks for low end or old devices like mines, but I don't think there is a workaround.
Just to say, on my iPod Touch 3 I get a better experience for games, although I have to go through reloading on Safari tabs.
Hey guys
After lots of thinking on whether to go for the Z2 or Z3, I have finally decided to upgrade to the Z3 from my Xperia S, personally, think its worth the extra amount! Going to get it a few hours from now and just wanted to know a few answers,
1. Google Play Services...this is the most annoying thing in my S too! Is there ANY way at all to turn this charge-eater off without having to root the Z3? If yes, please tell how.
2. Is is the Style Cover Window, the Sony cover officially available?
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/style-cover-scr24/
Any idea where I can get this in India? (without having to import, customs would probably charge me more than the actual cost of the cover here :silly:
3. Heard there were a few finger prints sticking on to the back of the black model. Not actually a big problem, but am just curious. Am thinking of getting the Copper Brown one..does it show finger prints too? How is the Copper brown colour btw? Seen it on pictures ofcourse, but would love to know if the people who went and got that actually liked it too or felt it was not what they expected!
4. Maybe not related to this thread and a noob question, but I really want to know this too. I have synced all my photos and got all my Contacts on the dropbox. How do I save my texts now? I want to be able to view all my texts from the S on the Z3 too. Is that possible? Not just the default messaging, even the Whatsapp. Heard Whatsapp back-up and restore was not that simple! Lastly, though I really want to have EVERYTHING ( contacts,texts,chats,photos ) except the apps, from my phone S to the Z3, is it advisable to do so? Am afraid doing so might result iin the phone not being as good as getting the new phone and starting it fresh.

1. The only option would be to disable Google app and all location services - I tried it on my old Xperia Z and it seemed to have worked. BUT on Z3 there is no need to worry about it. Play Services v.6.0 work well, no battery drain issues.
2. The cover is available in UK. I believe you could get one from eBay without having to pay customs.
3. Wouldn't worry about that - it is a glass back, so a) of course it is a fingerprint magnet and b) you probably want to stick a screen protector on both front and back. If you use a film protector on the back - you won't have problems. It will still collect fingerprints, but they will be extremely easy to clean. Also, remember that your new phone would be waterproof - washing it is actually a valid option - believe me, I tried
4. You can import/export texts from whatsapp - but I doubt there is a way to do it with stock messaging app, at least not without root.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you, that cleared almost my doubts. Wish I could get those messages from the stock messaging too! Just one last question ... did you import all contacts, photos, chats etc into your new Z3 too? Thinking of trying out that Xperia transfer app. Not sure if it would work alright or if there is a better method?
Transfer app should be good enough, I used built in transfer app from HTC and LG when I had them. The Z3 transfer app should be just as good.
Hi,
I used the Xperia Transfer Mobile app to copy all of my messages (sms/mms) as well as the call log from my old Xperia T to the Z3.
Whatsapp wasn't any harder, I just copied the Whatsapp folder from XT's internal sdcard to Z3's internal memory before launching the app for the first time.

What's up with Play Services? It's one of the most important parts of Android. Stop that and you stop all sorts of functionality including emergency security updates.

I didn't need to transfer anything as everything I needed was already on my Google account ( contacts, mail etc. ) and I keep all my photos on my PC, just transferring them via USB ( I'm a bit old-fashioned I guess ). But Xperia Transfer might be able to help, I hear it does pretty good job.

Well, there was a big problem with Play Services that was plaguing versions 4.4.X - 5.X but it appears to have been fixed in 6.0
Hey Guys, so ive decided i would like to take the plunge and go with custom roms for my perfectly fine Sony Z3, the only issue i have is actually storage/bloatware, it seems every update just fills my phone with more stuff i dont need and where all the storage space goes is beyond me, i literally have all my media and chosen apps stored on my SD card but still have to go through stuff clearing cache/data to be able to install updates or a new app.
anyway looked around at a few different roms and a few YouTube videos on rooting, but the reason I am directly asking here is because its clearly obvious you guys are the best on the web when it comes to these things, so my questions for advice are, is there a specific piece of software i should use to root and if any of you have experience with roms on Sony phones whether good or bad, what should i look out for and ultimately what would you recommend, i actually like the Sony software, the cameras apps are really cool (panorama/time-shift burst etc..) would i still be able to use them, PlayStation app remote play could i still have it, also I have a Sony TV and if I am viewing photos i can cast to my TV instantly would i lose that ability.
thanks
It's 2018., lot of phone brads out here are able to take raw photos, use third part camera aplications, etc (talking about camera is because I paid for camera, I don't care much about other things like design and f****** double tap wake, etc...). So what I was thinking is, what if we brag and spam sony support forum, like 0/24, to get full manual camera settings. Let's just start something. I wouldnt suggest this if I'm able to RMA my phone and get back my 750€. Have a great day everyone. I hope sonebody will take this serious and we will do something. ✌?✌?✌?✌?✌?
