Problems with Smart Wireless Headset Pro after upgrading my Xperia Sola to ICS

Just want to let the community, and Sony, know that since I "upgraded" my Xperia Sola to ICS, the Text to Speech on my Smart Wireless Headset Pro is not functioning. It used to work just fine when I had Gingerbread on my phone, but when I upgraded to ICS, the Text to Speech voice is not output on the headset, but on the phone, on the call speaker... Hope this bug gets fixed soon.
Maybe someone already knows of a solution?
Thanks in advance.

There is a new update available for the Smart Wireless headset pro, MW1 (0.1.C.0.3).
Which software version are you running your MW1 on?
If you don't have the latest I suggest that you use SUS to update your software.

Flashing android rom in Linux (Xperia Sola)

Hi
I have installed Arch Linux but cannot find suitable material on setting up drivers and utilities for flashing rom on Linux specifically arch linux. I am using Sony Xperia Sola and I want to flash custom rom into it.
I can setup arch even if instructions are available for other distro Linux Mint and Ubuntu so any link can come in handy.
I was using flashtool in windows but after shifting to Arch, I am not sure whats the right procedure to do it.
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted rom (FXP kernel + MIUI) installed as of now which I want to change asap.
Please help.
Regards

Ok I created the udev file and this the ouput of my lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0fce:0146 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
and this is my 51-android.rules file
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="054c",ATTR{idProduct}==0146, MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
now when I use `fastboot devices` nothing happens. What am I doing wrong ?
I have enabled developer option and the phone is set at MTP mode.
Edit 1 - Its weird , the product ID changes after setting the device in developer mode.

Xperia Live with Walkman on Android 4.0.4 (with screenies)

My Thoughts on Android 4.0.4 on Xperia Live with Walkman
-Sleeker Font Style.
-Camera Shortcut right from the Lock Screen.
-Able to access the drop down notification bar even when locked.
-Music Player access right from the lock screen
-New Owner Info Option display
-Face Unlock works great on Live with walkman.
-Awesome new themes. Xperia NXT Style! Although they are only wallpapers, not the live ones seen on 2012 devices. My favorite is Tourquoise (Did I spell that right?)
-The Performance Assistant will help you disable some of the apps that you dont need.
-There it is! Official Android 4.0.4. Ice Cream Sandwich. OH YEAHHHH!!!
-If you repeatedly tap on the Android Version Menu. This little Primitive Droid will surprise you. HEHE!!
-Oh, and there's also a new logo when you start up your phone : SONY ONLY not Sony Ericsson, and in its ever-so-recognizable font style. =P
-The Sony Ericsson Liquid Logo has also been changed to Walkman, with a bubbly and quirky animation.
-Ill try to post screenies if I can.
-Greatly Improved Android Browser. Seriously, It's WAAAAYYY smoother than the one in GB.
-The Browser runs smoother than GB.
-Websites with heavy flash content load smoothly. =D
-Saved Pages Option to view pages offline.
- Only Android provides true multitasking capabilities.
- Hold the Home Button and you will be taken to this new recent/running apps tab. Swipe to the right and that app is closed. =D!!!
-Widget Preview.
- A NEW Gallery aside from the Xperia Gallery. The new gallery provides edit options. Like Picsart or Instagram or Adobe Photoshop Express. So, if you want to save some precious memory, stick with the gallery editing options =D
-HD playback still smooth as ever. I don't know what the fuss is all about. =P
-Images look fine as they did in gingebread. It really depends on shooting situations.
-Captured 720p HD Videos doesn't lag for me. Play back is smooth. Same as in gingerbread.
-Maybe, People are just not used to the new interface, but with a little bit of tinkering, you should get used to it in no time. =P
-The New Camera Interface. It now includes a dedicated on screen camera button.
-Captured Photos Quality are the same as in Gingerbread.
-Captured 720p HD Videos run as smooth as in Gingerbread.
- The New YouTube App interface.
- The Lockscreen Music Player
- There was a review about not seeing the clock due to the music player. Duhhh, you can see it at the upper right corner. =P
- I love how the album art and the album name also appears. If you are like me who converts songs from youtube to mp3. A little app called Tune Wiki can help you edit its tags so you can enable infinity view. =D
-The New Dial Pad, which provides Smart Dialing.
-About the lagginess issue. It takes about 2-3 seconds to start. It depends on how many entries you have in your call log.
-There's a workaround on it though, access it through Contacts.
- RAM usage feels the same for me. Good Job on this one Sony. =D
- I was really worried about RAM ever since I read Sony's article about GB and ICS. They did well on optimizing this one.
- My screenshot is not the best there is since I was syncing Facebook inside Xperia. But, normally it has about 180mb used and 160mb free.
- New APPS installed. Some apps like Wisepilot for Xperia can now be moved to SD card, thereby freeing more phone memory.
- My New Homescreen. It retains the very convenient four corner bubbles.
- 5 Widget Panes
- A New Google Search Widget
- Walkman Player. I was expecting the music player from the NXT series. Hehe, but I guess this will have to do. =D
- I've never seen the refresh music library option even in the GB walkman player. Through experience, everytime I add a music file it gets added in real time. No refresh required...
- Oh, and also... I think the speaker is a tad bit louder than before. Like 20% louder. I noted no distortions
- The orange lights work as usual.
- Still no customizable equalizer. This is a walkman phone. It has to have superb music customization capabilities. =P
- Battery usage for me remains the same like in GB.
-Monster Use/Heavy Gaming : 4 hours (HD games cracked for HVGA screens i.e. Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, Need for Speed, Shadowgun, Dead Space) Although I doubt you could play that long due to the screen size and the cramps you may get from playing. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome anyone? Haha.
-Internet Browsing : 6-8 hours
-Video Playback using Stock Player and YouTube App : 6-8 hours
-Video Playback using MX player : 4-6 hours (I use it for my .avi files)
- I use Easy Battery Saver to Optimize battery performance.
In Super Mode it can last up to 24-36 hours with only texts and calls which I think is pretty impressive. I can go on 16 hour hospital shifts without worying about charging my phone.
In Normal Mode it can last 8-10 hours.
-It really depends on how you use your phone. I strongly believe it greatly varies with every user.
- Don't believe posts that say it doesn't run as smooth as GB. IT RUNS AS SMOOTH AS GINGERBREAD. EVEN BETTER. =P
- Sleeker new user interface.
- All of my apps and games still run smoothly on ICS. I'll keep searching for bugs.
- The ROBOTO font is awesome.
- I find the interface more intuitive and streamlined than GB.
- Lots of new features implemented. i.e. Smart Dialing, Face Unlock, Performance Assistant
- Icons have been remodeled.
- I also love how fluid it is now when it switches screen orientation. =D!!
- No bugs for me whatsoever.
- I miss the quirkiness of the GB user interface. Like the transparency of the messaging app. But I guess, I have to move on, change is for the better.
- A SOLID AND STABLE UPGRADE. NOW MY XPERIA LIVE IS COMPLETE.
Problems:
-Yes, the LED SMS notification doesn't work. But all other LEDs work. i.e. Yahoo Messenger, Incoming Calls, Twitter. I guess they may have overlooked this one. It's the only problem that I see. I find it livable still. Greater good for the greater number of people =P
-THANKS TO SONY!!! A huge step on the right direction.

Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!
Heather

In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
Creative Suite 6
Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

Fico interview questions and Real time tickets with resoving details

hi sap gurus
i have done sap-fico iam in job trails. can any body help me Fico interview questions and Real time tickets with resoving details
regards
prasad.v
Edited by: chinna prasad on Jun 5, 2008 4:10 PM

Hello Prasad,
Before attending interviews.....First you need to understand general things like CV writing, projects, sub modules etc., you should be gain knowledge on these concepts then you can move further.
1. CV 2.Projects 3.your strenths in sap (reading..reading...reading....practice...practice...practice)
2.you please interact with your friends who is on trails, then you can get more information like interview process, methodology, technical etc.,
I am sending some real time interview tech questions which will useful for you.
Questions:
1.When tickets are raised by end users who will give priority? After resolve the tickets who will close the status?
2.In real time at a time how many normal periods, special periods, MM periods we can open?
3.What is client dependant & Independent?
4.How to transport configuration settings from one client to another client or production client, which tools we can use for transport?
5.Why we donu2019t assign business area to company code?
6.What is the difference between General GL A/c, Control A/c, Reconciliation A/c & Offsetting A/c?
Answers:
1.The priority is generally decided by the Coordinator on the client side. After tickets are resolved, they will have to be closed by the coordinator on the customer site
2. In FI as many as you wants. In MM only 2 (current month + previous
3.Certain tables and customizations made in one client will affect the other clients also - then it is cross client i.e, client dependent. While if the changes made in one client has no impact on the other client - it is said to be client independent
4.Transports from one server to the other can be made with the help of transport requests. When a configuration is done the system generates a request number. First release the task and then release the request. Use TC-SE10 / SE09, SE09: workbench transport; SE10: customizing transport. But currently no such difference actually exists.
5.because in case of multiple company codes, same business area can be used across company codes. Business area is cross company code, means it is not confined to one company code thatu2019s why we don't assign BA to any of the company codes. It is client dependant, not company code dependant. We can pass values from one company code to any of the BA in that client.
6.General GL Account are those used for standard posting like for example Income and Expenses Accounts
- Control Account are basically used for reconciliation between modules like FI and CO, to ensure that both the modules are in sync.
- Reconciliation Account are those specific covering ADK (A-Assets, D-Customer, K-Vendor). For example a Customer Master would be mapped to a Bills Receivable Reconciliation Account and any transaction that needs to be posted are done against the customer code.
- Offsetting Account are used for variety of reasons and few examples are Intercompany Postings, at the time of Implementation when TB and Balance sheet are uploaded would be offsetted against a dummy account.
All the best.....dont forget and pl assign points if useful and if u have any querries pl revert back
thanks

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?

Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

Question to the forum My question really has to do with the replace stuff

Question to the forum
My question really has to do with the replace stuff from imovie 09
Ok when I pick up the stuff from the event library and pull up to the top it does not replace at play head or end or start
It mainly erases everything that is on there b4 so
So I am not sure
I actually also wanted to know what is the difference of just dragging to the end or end
And all these replacing options like replace at start end or replace alone for that matter ….

Hello again. Just to let you know I have solved the problem. Backed up my new phone. Then wiped all settings and everything off it to start again. When it relaunches it gives you the option to download from Icloud and you can pick from which back-up date you want to download it from. Picked the one from the day before it got trashed and HEY PRESTO, we have all the pictures and videos back!!! Iphone 0 - 1 Voodooboy78
I'm sure people will look at this and be like duhhhhhh but to me it is a VICTORY over technology!!! Peace

Dm4-1060us laptop SD Card Reader 5-in-1 question. Does it work with SDHC and SDXC memory cards?

dm4-1060us laptop SD Card Reader 5-in-1 question. Does it work with SDHC and SDXC memory cards?

This cart reader is a kind of multi card reader and you can use different cards with it. In my opinion every multi device should be used very, but very gently. I do not know what happened exactly in your case but maybe you have damaged something inside.
Try to restart your notebook and use other SD card to check if everything works well. Please do it very gently and if you see something is wrong stop with inserting the card.
I use 1 GB SD card on my A200 without any problems.
In my opinion you should check notebook by technician.
Bye and good luck!

Good morning. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?

Good morning (at least here in Portugal)
My question is that I want to buy the new Iphone 5C, but I want to use it here in Portugal. I was in the store menu looking for it and it appears that I have to stay with a network for two years, if not the price will increase significantly. I want to buy it online because the Iphone will only arrive in Portugal in December and probably it will be more expensive. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?
Thank you very much for the attention.
Daniela João.

The Verizon iPhone 5 is sold as unlocked. You can buy it full retail and use it anywhere you want. However, you won't get LTE in Europe and you won't be eligible for warranty service unless you take the phone back to the U.S. You won't be able to buy one on a contract unless you can pass a U.S. credit check. The minimum monthly cost would be $59.99 plus tax. I assume that all of this information will be true of of the 5C as well.
Wait and buy the phone in Portuagal.

Question on how networking works with new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a question about how networking works with my new Macbook Pro. This is my first laptop so am new to mobile computing. I am about to configure it to replace my desktop which uses a wired DSL connection. Once I have my Macbook Pro configured to run off the DSL modem, what happens when I take this computer to a location that has ethernet? Will just plugging in the ethernet cable be enough to get on line? Or is there further configuration work that needs to be done?
I used a Windows laptop from work and all I had to do was plug it in to a hotel ethernet cable to get on line. However, this laptop was never configured to run on my DSL network so I am not certain if that makes things more complicated.
Thanks for your help!

Hi
Your MacBook Pro should just work when plugged into an ethernet connection.
Just check something, Open Network Preferences, you can select it from the Airport icon in the menu bar.
In the left-hand pane click on Ethernet and just check that it is set to configure using DHCP in the right-hand pane, that's it.
So when you plug in the ethernet cable it will ask the router for an IP address and off you go.
I assume that any system you plug into will use DHCP rather than static IP addresses. If it is a static IP address, you will need to manually configure the ethernet settings by inputting the IP address and subnet mask info plus DNS servers.
Usually it is done with DHCP and you don't have to do a thing and likewise your home DSL is DHCP?
If not then you will have to change your settings, make a 'Hotel' setting which you can use when in hotels and keep your 'Home' set-up for when you are at home. In the pull down menu select Edit Locations to add new ones.
