Many website will not open pdf files with firefox yet the same pages work fine with internet explorer default app

Typically, I have to use the default android internet app to view pdf files on my android. The last page I tried was my progressive website to view my policy documents. Firefox just does nothing when I click on a pdf file. When I go to the download folder, the file is there but has 0kb size (or empty). The default android app goes right to download and shows up in the top android status menu showing it is downloading.
This problem has been around for a long time now and is still not resolved.

Here is one I just tried. It works on my ipad2. When using my android, the file shows up in the download folder, but as usual it is an empty file. Even when the pop for "view file in cloud viewer" is choosen, it loads a blank page.

Compatible LED notification apps with Xperia Z1 Compact

Hello please can someone tell me if there are any LED notification apps that are compatible with the Xperia Z1 compact. I have got LEDBlinker Lite installed at the moment but it will not allow me to personalise it with LED's for each person in my contacts just for generic incoming texts, emails etc. Thanks

Try Ligh Flow,see how it works.

Cannot get double sided printing as a default with Internet Apps

When printing from an Internet App on the 8500A Plus, how do you get the printer to print double sided as the default

KayPee,
The apps found on the printer have their own options. If a particular app can support double sided (duplex) printing, it will be an option in the app itself. If duplex print is not offered as a setting all ready in the app, the only way it will duplex print will be through a possible, future update to the app. There is simply no way of knowing if an app will support any certain feature in the future.

Clearing e-mails - Xperia Z3 compact

HI All. Just got a new Sony Xperia Z3 compact and having some frustrations with e-mail! I have already discovered the limitations of the phone's e-mail app when it comes to deleting e-mails and my problem makes that even more irritating!
I have a BT Internet e-mail address which I intend to keep using. Incoming e-mails therefore arrive on the BT / Yahoo server.
I have a desktop PC at my home office and that is where I hold the "master" copy of my e-mails on that desktop PC, on Outlook, and so things are set up so that when the e-mails clear down from the BT / Yahoo server on to my Outlook, they automatically clear from the BT / Yahoo server inbox.
With my previous Smartphone (a Blackberry) there was no problem with setting it up so that it effectively "mirrored" the BT / Yahoo server inbox - when e-mails arrived they appeared on my phone in the In box and they remained there until they cleared down from the BT / Yahoo server on to Outlook on my desktop PC. At that poiunt, they automatically cleared off my Smartphone. It was also very simple to set up my Smartphone e-mail handling so that if an e-mail arrived on my Smartphone and I did not wish to keep it, I could delete it from my Smartphone AND the BT / Yahoo server inbox. This meant that I didn't have to see it ever again when the BT / Yahoo server next cleared down to my desktop PC Outlook.
I SPECIFICALLY asked the salesman if achieving the same outcome was possible on my new Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. He assured me that it was and we double checked the information relating to the phone. It made it clear the e-mail was set up so that it "mirrored" the webmail server and so it seemed that it would do as my Blackberry did and clear e-mails automatically when they cleared down from the BT / Yahoo server. Except they don't - they stay on the Smartphone and have to be manually deleted (with all the hassle of double deleting, first from Inbox and then from Trash as there is no "Empty Trash" functionality.
Nevertheless, everything appeared OK with the option for deleting from Smartphone and BT / Yahoo server as I found an option for "Delete e-mail from server" "When I delete from Inbox" which appeared to be exactly what I wanted. However that doesn't work either - they delete from the Inbox but they DON'T delete from the BT / Yahoo server even when that option is selected.
I use e-mail a lot and that is why I specifically enquired about the e-mail handling capability.
Please tell me (in basic English, not complex tech-speak!) that I am wrong and there is a way of getting my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact to handle e-mails in the way that I want!

Hi, i also use BT Internet for my email accounts....i actually have 3 seperate BT email accounts set up on my Z2, i use the YAHOO MAIL app on my phone & on my computer it is the BT YAHOO MAIL......not sure what the difference between Outlook & Yahoo is......when an email comes to one my addresses, if i look/read it on my phone & delete it ...it does delete also from my computer, actually just double checked this to make sure!!!!!
Perhaps you could look into the Yhoo Mail App for your phone.....hope this helps

Setting initial default homepage

I am deploying FF18.0.2 to about 700 workstations, in the past I have been using;
Mozilla.cfg, copied to <install_Folder>
//Firefox Default Settings
// set Firefox Default homepage
pref("browser.startup.homepage","http://myhome.pagesite.org");
// disable default browser check
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
// disable application updates
pref("app.update.enabled", false)
// disables the 'know your rights' button from displaying on first run
pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
// disables the request to send performance data from displaying
pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);
pref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
local-settings.js; Copied to <install_folder>\defaults\pref
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
but the endusers can not change this homepage, how do I enable them to be able to change the default page?

The "browser.startup.homepage" is a complex pref and apparently requires a different approach to set as a default value.
See:
*http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/15/customizing-firefox-default-preference-files/
*defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage", "data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=http://www.bbc.co.uk");

Xperia Z3 Compact camera error when starting from locked screen (symbol lock)

Hi
I'm a new owner of Xperia Z3 Compact and I have noticed a problem when launching camera. The app itself works perfectly well but when trying to launch camera from locked phone (screen locked with symbol) it shows only black screen with error message that camera app it unaccessible. After removing lock screen protection both camera symbol on lock screen and dedicated camera button works as intended. Is it supposed to be that way? On my previous phone I could launch camera app without unlocking screen but couldn't access any other parts of the phone. I'd love to have it working the same way here especially with the dedicated camera button.
Hoping for a fast answer.
Regards
Huma

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Bridge for mac says No Memory on xperia z1 compact!!!

Hi, I am experiencing a problem. I hope someone here can help. When I connect my device to my MacBook Pro the contents display ok, but it indicates that the device memory is 100% FULL. I have an Xperia Z1 compact.I have 3.14GB used of 11.79GB internal storage, 1.21GB used of 1.69GB RAM and 5.6GB used of 7.2GB SD card storage. I had to send the handset for repair, and when it came back (having been wiped clean by o2 service centre) I restored from the Bridge for Mac backup I had taken before it was sent away. The restore went ok, but didnt restore all of the apps I had had on my phone. (Not sure if it should have or not.) I am now trying to restore again having reinstalled some of the apps manually. Bridge for Mac indicates that the memory on my handset is full. It is not. It will not allow me to do anything in terms of restoring as it thinks there is no available memory! I am using BfM 4.1(4104)Android 5.0.2 Why is this not working? Thanks

New window in Safari does not open under my default homepage - just upgraded to Lion

I just upgraded to Lion and whenever I open Safari, it opens on the last page I used versus that my default homepage.
Is this a bug? It worked fine prior to upgrading and I didn't change any of my settings.
Thanks

Just talked with support... two options...
Opton 1 (turns off the new "Resume" feature which is new to Lion...) Under System Prefs, click OFF the check box for Restore windows when quitting and re-openingn apps....
Option 2... when you quit Safari, include the option key... so option-command-Q to quit... this quits and discards the windows you have open...
Made my protest to this silly change known... it should be a check box in Safari to load last page, not effect another programs functionability... You're slipping Apple... that's a Microsoft move!

Xperia z1 compact problem restoring

Hello. I've bought new sony xperia z1 compact but it has a serious problem. Every time I plug it in (to charge) it restores. The promo video keeps playing again and again, my wallpaper disappears and sets default and the worst thing is that all my photos I took before are deleted. (photos from whatsapp and messenger remain, music remains and gmail, whatsapp and viber remain logged in) All this used to happen when I plugged the mobile to charge but the last time it happened itself suddenly.Please, can you tell me what it is caused by and what can I do about it? In this moment I do not reside at the same place I bought the phone at so I am not able to return it. Thank you very much.

Hi boavista,
Welcome to the community,
This sounds like the device is set to Demo mode, you can try removing this by doing the following.

Unable to override BT Openzone on safari - it has overwritten my default homepage and is stopping me from searching any other page/site. Help!

How do I get rid of BT Openzone (my internet service provider) overriding my default homepage (apple.com) and preventing me from accessing any other internet sites? I am unable to access Google or any other search engine. It seems to have completely hijacked my system.

You can't access any other website, or you can't access any other search engine?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Xperia z1 compact camera

i have heard that the camera on the z1 compact is a bit slow, is this true, and is the phone worth getting if the camera is my main reason for getting the phone. thanks

I bought the Sony Xperia Z1 compact for the camera as much as the phone and regret it. It could well be down to user error on my part but I can't find many of the options supposedly available in the marketing information. The instructions in the user guide are incomplete if you are trying to resolve something - the manual mode is supposed to have an autofocus option whereby you touch the screen until the yellow box goes blue but on my phone you touch the screen and absolutely nothing happens whatsoever. Perhaps there are some other settings elsewhere that are required but personally I just don't know. I expected the camera to work like any normal digital SLr or camera phone that I have had in the past but it seems that this is not the case.
The camera is also locking up after one or two shots. If you contact Sony Support by email you wait two days and then get a reply suggesting you need to reset the phone and repair the software. They say that any user information may be lost and any such data should be backed up but there are no instructions on how to do this and what exectly will be lost is not specified. Again down to lack of understanding on my part but if you are in a similar position, don't bother with the phone. If you are an expert then you may fare better than me but that's for you to decide.
As part of the repair process, the instructions I received and that you have to perform yourself, add that any apps previously downloaded should not be re-downloaded for 48 hours and only one app should then be re-downloaded in each subsequent 24 hour period and tested against the camera just in case there is a conflict between the app and the camera. Since I have only downloaded 5 or 6 apps since getting the phone a couple of months ago this will not be too much of an issue BUT if you had downloaded 14 apps you would have to wait over two weeks to get the phone back to how it was.
I expected the phone to be sorted out for me by Sony. When you pay the best part of £400 for a phone with a camera that doesn't appear to work, I didn't expect to have to fix the problems with it out myself. Good luck is deciding what to - it seems to be a complete minefield out there.

BDP-S2200 Internet app issues

I cannot establish a connection to any of the internet video apps on my Blu Ray player. Either an app will attempt to start up displaying the message "Checking network connection. Please wait..." and never leaving the home screen then nothing. My player is connected to the network properly as I have attempted to use the apps after having just set up the network settings or checked the status to make sure it is active. Or I get a Acquiring Internet Content...1/3. That process will advance to 3/3 but goes no further. I do have the most recent firmware version M19.R.0164. I have also tried refreshing the system settings.
