Problem since lollipop, headset and "smart" flip cover

Hi,
Have some problem since upgrading to lollipop. First it was the headset that didnt wanna connect, but solved it with a factory reset on both the headset and telephone. But i still has a problem with the flip cover, guessing that with the update the config for smart connect (or NFC) was resetted. Now the problem is that the flip cover is glued with a sticker on the phone so i cant get it of to try and reconnect it.
The problem is that it does not longer interact with the phone e.g. when the flip cover is closed the phone screen would normaly ajust to the little screen on the cover but it doesnt, it just shows regular background.
Does anyone know a smart way to fix this?

I own the SCR24 smart style cover for my Z3 dual and indeed it's fixd to the back side of phone by sticker, but from my own experience you can carefully remove the cover by pulling it off slowly from the phone, and the sticker will be still functional to be glued again to the phone.
So what I suggest is: try removing the cover, reconnect it to your phone via NFC tag, then re-attach it to the phone. 
Let me know if you tried this successfully.

    I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2.

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.

  • Problems since phone restore and upgrade to 3.1.2

    On Thursday I restored my phone to factory settings due to calendar problems when syncing with MobileMe. I set the phone up as a new phone after installing 3.1.2 and the calendar issue resolved. But, since then, I can't get mail from my Exchange server at work and my other e-mail accounts, with the exception of MobileMe, work intermittently and pretty much only if I'm connected to WiFi. The phone doesn't recognize my home WiFi network anymore and I have to enter the password several times in order to connect -- it finally connects after that. Everything else is connecting to my WiFi just fine. Most annoying, however, is that the battery is draining like crazy. I haven't increased or changed the way I use my phone in the last two days -- in fact, I've only made one call and received two others. I've sent a few texts, but no more than usual, and have tried to check e-mail with no to poor results, as I've said. I'm needing to recharge twice daily with little to no use of the phone. The phone is approaching 2 years old -- is the battery simply dying and this exacerbated the problem?? I treat the phone well -- no drops or accidents with it and no such problems until I did the restore. It seems like others have had some problems since 3.1.2, so is that the problem??

    I went to the Apple store today and worked with a Genius on these problems. We're still in a diagnostic mode -- they were able to detect that the battery was going down more quickly but no clue as to why. They suggested restoring the phone one more time and then adding in one app at a time to see if an app is causing the problem, but they don't believe it's related to 3.1.2. Right now, my phone has nothing on it except for MobileMe and it seems to be holding a charge. It's still draining a bit more quickly than it did before 3.1.2 but as I add in more apps, I'll be able to determine what's causing the issues. Frustrating!

  • Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
    Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
    Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
    Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
    I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
    I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
    Thanks everyone!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
    However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
    Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
    I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
    Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
    This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
    I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)

  • Audigy 2 problems with mic headset and Teamsp

    What settings and what are they under do I have to change to make Teamspeak work properly with my Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset and City of Heroes? Everyone wants me to leave Teamspeak because when I go into the channel it creates this massi've noise. Or, when I played with settings to try to fix it they can barely hear me. Everyone was trying to help me with my settings but we were getting no where. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 and the latest drivers and programs from SB installed. What needs to be muted, not muted, what needs to selected for mic settings and not. PLEASE HELP! :-)
    Terry

    I have a Dell XPS Gen 2. I was using the mic/headphone jacks in the front of the computer. When I switched the mic/headphone to the back of the computer in the soundcard, everyone heard me fine. Go into both your Creative Labs Surround Mixer control panel and make sure you have your mic selected on Record to Mic. I have the following muted in there with the X: Midi Synth, CD Audio, CD-Digitial, and ALSO Microphone. Keep Line-In and Wave umuted. In your XP Sound control panel, the same thing. Also go into advanced Mic settings there and make sure the DB boost is checked. In TS under Settings/Options/Sound Devices I have it set to Wave and then both SB Audigy is selected for input/output. Settings/Options/Sound Input/Output Settings I have Push To Talk selected. I'm sure now that I have it working I can play with it some more to get Voice Activation tweaked to work well, but I'm happy that they can hear me without a giant helicopter sound coming through anymore. :-) Let em know how it goes.

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
    You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • Problen Pairing Jawbone Headset and iPhone

    Anyone having problems pairing Jawbone headset and iPhone? I get a paired status but then the device wheel keeps spinning .... The Jawbone thinks it's paired but the phone doesn't. I've tried like 30 times and got it to work one. The Jawbone worked fine with my Sony/Ericsson.
    Thanks!
    John

    So just wanted to post my approach to this problem. I love my jawbone. it has amazing sound quality. recently when apple sent out the software update to the iphone it wiped my iphone and required that i fully restore the settings from my computer. i did so but discovered that all of my bluetooth headset pairings had been deleted. i tried to restore it using the approach suggested in the support materials but received a constantly spinning wheel with the message "not discoverable." jawbone was recognized but said "not paired." jawbone kept timing out on the discovery sequence. finally i shut off the bluetooth function on my iphone and then turned off my jawbone device. i turned iphone back on and then activated the pairing function on the jawbone. on the iphone i exited the bluetooth menu (still spinning eternally). once i did that i activated my jawbone. on the iphone the menu to input the password came up. i input "0000". meanwhile back on the iphone bluetooth menu there was still endless spinning but now my jawbone was listed as "paired". exiting that i went to make a call to my vm and was gratified to see "audio" replace "speaker" in the upper righthand corner. hope this helps.

  • I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting.  Anyone having problems?

    I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket.  When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash.  Anyone having problems? Help.

    Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
    This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

  • Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

    Hi!
    I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
    First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
    It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
    My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

    Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

  • HDX 16 Headset and Mic problem in Vista64

    Good afternoon,
    I have a long-standing problem with my e-dimensional AudioFX headset and my HP HDX 16, vista64 laptop. The issue is:
    I cannot hear myself speak into the mic from my headset. ie. no sound is being sent from the mic back into the headset or external speakers. Everything else works just fine. My ventrilo partners can hear me and I can hear them. I just cannot hear myself.
    When I plug the headset into my older Windows XP Pro machine, it works perfectly. I hear all ambient sound from the mic in my headset.
    This is really difficult to work this way. I have tried disabling the AndreaElectronics microphone enhancements but this has not worked. I have tried adjusting the recording and playback properties many many times and many different ways but still can't get ambient sounds to feed back into the headset. I am reluctant to fool around with the IDT Audio drivers/services.
    Can anyone offer some guidance/troubleshooting help? I'm totally out of ideas now.
    Regards,
    Starsider

    Update:
    I think I have found the solution but it was for a similar problem on a Dell machine. Here is the link to that forum:
    http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/865259.htm
    I think the solution involves enabling mic monitoring in the registry but I don't know exactly how to do it. If there are any registry experts reading this, I would greatly appreciate your help. I am reluctant to make any registry changes per the instructions in the link above since that was for a Dell computer and my registry is slightly different from the instructions given.
    My exact model is the HP HDX 16 running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Model number X-16 1155CA.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Podcasts Playlist and Smart Playlists Problems

    Whenever I connect my iPod to my PC and start iTunes, I see that both my Podcasts and Smart Playlists have all reverted to regular playlists. Even when I fix the problem by deleting it all and recreating the playlists, the next time I plug my iPod in and start iTunes the same thing happens. I've reinstalled iTunes and I have the most system update for my iPod. I also manually manage my Podcasts. Does anyone have a clue what's going on?

    I've solved this problem by working through an unrelated problem. Try the solutions in these two articles:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    In particular, do all of the solutions involving uninstalling and reinstalling iPod software and iTunes. Also, clean up your temp files and iTunes installer files. Finally, try reinstalling the COM interface for the iPod service.
    I suspect that following all of the various uninstall/reinstall directions fixed it, but the rest is worth trying. I'm not sure what did it, since I couldn't get iTunes to recognize my iPod but none of those solutions fixed that particular problem(I just had to remap the drive letter.) Any one of those things could have did it, really, since it worked great once I got it working again.
    Good luck!

    Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
    Thank you, and sorry for the language.

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

  • Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days.  I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

    Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days.  I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying.  iPhone remote app works just fine.  Any suggestions?

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
