Xperia Z Album

My album always appear the picture of Cache and Thumbnail file, and the little picture from game folder(just as the picture show). I tried to delete those files, but it just appear after a moment or after i restart my phone. My friend told me to download an apps 'QuickPic' and hide all the file, but it still appear on Album. It really annoying because there are alot duplicated photo, song cover art and game stuff. How can I solve this problem? Those files are from - Android/data/...

Delete the thumbnail file and when a new file is created it should start with a dot ie .thumbnails and not thumbnails then you may also need to open Settings then apps and swipe to all then locate the album app and open then tap clear cache
If this does not help,settings-apps-all-media storage,force stop and clear data.Restart.

Xperia z1 back button not working In camera and album

Hi,
I have bought a new xperia z1 last week, I have been facing a problem with back button (arrow at the left bottom screen ). Mostly when I'm using camera and album app. Has anyone else having similar problem in z1. My husband is using z2, he is not having this issue.
Sony can you help me on this issue.

Hi,
Do you mean that the back button works fine for all other applications and so on? You can always boot the phone into safe mode to see if you experience the same behaviour:

Not displaying some of my pictures on my Xperia Z1 after album update version 5.2.A.1.20

I updated the album app on my Xperia Z1 yesterday and half my pictures won't display now, it just shows up as a black screen and 2 silver triangle things attached to each other which I'm guessing it's meant to be a symbol for a mountain because there is like a zig zag path going down it. Any ideas how to get my pictures back?? I've restarted my phone, taken my sd card out and uninstalled the updates for the album then updated them again and nothing :/

Can you access the picture with a file manager?
Download OI File Manager then
look for the DCIM > 100Andro folder > look for the picture

Album app crashes when trying to view pictures on Xperia Ion runing 4.0.4

I have been using Firefox 20.0.1 on my Sony Xperia Ion and I have noticed that when I download a picture using firefox, it crashes my album app. I have tried this on chrome and the stock browser and it doesn't cause my app to crash, however, firefox is very speedy on my phone compared to the others and i would like to keep it that way.
I have also noticed that after said pictures have been downloaded, if I try to set them as a wallpaper either for Xperia home or my lock screen, it causes my lock screen AND the album app to crash altogether.
Has anyone else encountered these problems? I would really like to solve this problem.

Check whether your firefox is uptodated!
Firefox Menu > Quit
Restart your mobile and try again..
if your facing same problem, try with beta version

Facebook with Albums and Xperia

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me. I bought a Xperia Z1 Compact yesterday so today in the progress of setting it all up. I have been an iPhone user for 4 years so many of the features are new to me!
1) I notice in the Albums App from Sony you can connect via facebook and get photos from there? When I click this function a box appears saying connect. I click connect. Then a box appears for permission for Xperia to access my facebook contacts, photos etc etc and I click ok. This box disappears and nothing happens! It goes back to the original connect screen. And I go in circles when I keep clicking connect.
2) In my settings in my accounts, I have facebook. I notice there is also an option for Xperia with facebook. I have removed my facebook from the accounts and added Xperia with Facebook. When I do this the account asks me to sign in etc and when I do the icon that appears is a regular facebook icon and not the Xperia with Facebook icon. (I actually tried this to fix problem 1 and then realised it wasn't doing it this way either). My facebook account when it appears in the list will only let me sync my contacts there are no options for photos or calendars or anything else.
I have tried deleting the accounts turning then phone off and again then re-adding it. I have tried going into my actual facebook account and checking the settings there (as far as I can tell it should all sync up). I only got the phone yesterday so surely it doesn't need re-boot to factory settings or anything?
Please help if you can.
Thanks in advance.

How to ensure album art data does not downsample in WALKMAN on Xperia ZR phone?

I'm using Xperia ZR (model C5503) with android 4.2.2 and WALKMAN v7.9.A.0.1
All my music have an album art image of around 600x600 to 640x640 resolution.
When I play a song, WALKMAN shows the original albumart very clearly as normal, but when I go back to this played song later or any other song that shares the same album art, the album art is clearly downsampled, is blurry and filled with compression artifacts.
The WALKMAN lock screen app in its small size and full size as well as the home screen widget doesn't have this problem.
How do I stop this from happening?
Solved!

Hi Crew5590,
Welcome to the community,
You could try connecting your handset to a PC and then transfer the files on to it, from here you can clear the cache and data from the Album app.
Menu > settings > Apps > All > Album > Clear Cache/Data

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.
-KIMOZAVE - NOOBIE SMARTPHONE USER

hi kimozave, ur review seems to be full of praises for ICS, but I have gone through many threads on disadvantages of ICS, so very much confused if I should go with ICS update or not....
can you plz tell how was is experience on:
1. Dial pad - I have read its laggy.
2. The phone is having a hard time authenticating wifi connection when using WPA encryption.
3. Thumbnails in the gallery does not match the original picture.
4. Phone dies at 10% battery remaining.
5. SIM card keeps ejecting

Thanks to the inclusion of Sony's BRAVIA TV technology, Xperia Z1 features Sony's unique TRILUMINOS Display for mobile, creating a wider palette of rich natural colours for an outstanding, immersive viewing experience. It also includes X-Reality for mobile - Sony's intelligent super resolution technology which analyzes each image and optimizes the quality to deliver super sharp videos.
Beautiful design with high power and performance
Xperia Z1 also includes all of the features consumers have come to expect of a Sony smartphone. It combines Sony's acclaimed OmniBalance design with premium materials and precision engineering in a slim waterproof and dust resistant smartphone (IP55 & IP58). A solid one-piece aluminium frame with tempered glass on the front and back ensures beauty and durability as well as a consistent viewing experience from different angles.
Xperia Z1 features the fully integrated Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 800 processor with 2.2 GHz quad-core CPU and 4G LTE to provide a seamless connected entertainment experience and amazing speed. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor features the latest GPU and dual ISP for incredible graphics, 3D games and videos. The Xperia Z1 also includes a 3000 mAh battery for a high battery performance. Sony's Battery STAMINA Mode automatically turns off functions to save power when you don't need them and restarts them when you do.
Out of the box entertainment with Sony's media applications and technologies
Xperia Z1 integrates PlayMemories Online3, a cloud-based image and video service that is integrated into the Album application. A new 'All Sync' feature enables users to instantly auto-upload all of their photos without storage limitation3.
Sony's "WALKMAN" and Movies applications are also included and provide access to more than 22 million songs on the "WALKMAN" app through Music Unlimited and more than 150K movies and TV series on the Movies app through Video Unlimited2 from Sony Entertainment Network.
Xperia Z1 comes with an incredible entertainment offer that includes five great movies plus an exclusive movie access pass to the digital release of Sony Pictures' summer blockbuster as well as a two-month free trial of Sony's Music Unlimited4 streaming service plus ten games from PlayStation Mobile.

Walkman app display incorrect album cover

I made an account just to post this.
Okay, my device is Xperia Z1 C6903 and I use the Walkman app to play music, and honestly, I love the app, it's a great app and all, I love the interface and surround feature. I do not have thought of using any other music player such as Poweramp.
But I don't understand why the all the files in an album has to display the same album art, I don't know about if my app or system is defective, all I know is Walkman works likes this:
All files with the same Album name tag, with album art or not, will display the same album art as the first track of the album.
Therefore if the files in an album contains different variety of album art, it will all be replaced by the album art tagged in the first track.
I have thoughts if I am the only one who has this problem cause not only Walkman app does this sort of thing, even Play Music (Google's music app) does the same, is something wrong with my system? So far I know Poweramp (Trial) display album art correctly and does not have any sort of this kind of problem.
And no, my phone is not rooted.
That is bascially my problem is anyone know the solution, or comments, you're more than welcomed to share. Honestly, I love this app and I cannot be persuade to use another app to play music.
P.S.
If you ask me if there's any improvement/new feature that can be done to this app, and the only thing that I'd wish this app can have is crossfade effect and please, remove the big title block with "Enjoy Your Music Anytime and Everywhere" on it, it takes up lot of space and I hate to have to scroll down in order to access other shortcuts.
Solved!

I do not own Z1,I just gave you a suggestion which I thought would help.How about if you tap the third button while you are over a song,select edit music info and select what art do you want?
Okay, here's what I did, I tested out an album with two songs in it, both tagged with different cover when displayed on PC, now I transfered it to Z1 by just dragging it to SD card folder, didn't use Media Go or anything, when displayed on Walkman, the second song displays album cover that is of the first song, I proceed to "Edit music info", I clicked on the album art, I discovered that is over written by something, so I clicked on "Clear album art", choose "Save", and turned out the song got quickly over written again, I think it has something to do with the "Download music info" app thing, by Gracenote, unless this is under observation of a developer, I don't think this can be solved, right now I'd try using Media Go, see if that works.

Pictures and movies moved to sd card by the OS are not accessible by Album or Movies anymore

Hello all,
I am new to Android. I own a Xperia Z2 and placed in a 64g SD card. As I take more and more pictures and movies with the camera, every once in a while the OS send me a message saying that the main memory is almost full and suggest to relocate files on the SD card.
I accepted a few times just to realise that the Album and Movies apps are not updated. the link is lost and I dont find the tools to help the OS or the apps find the files at their new location.
Using a file manager (File Commander) I can see where the files are now. I can even see a preview by changing the view settings in the file manager but I cant open them. I get a broken link image instead.
Anyone knows what to do to update the apps and get access back to the files ?
many many thanks in advance
JFRICHER

I did the procedure three times now ( media storage / force stop / restart ).
Here's what I get: When I open the Album App, the first few hundred images displayed are broken links. If I browse way down the list, I can see a few pictures that are strangely on my sd card.
Still, using the file manager, I can locate all of them manually, see the thumbnail image for every file, but cant open any.
I just tried as you suggested to put the camera storage location back on internal storage, took a new picture and I was able to see it automatically both using Album app and the File Commander App.
I am clueless. :o(
thanks for your support alexdon :o)
