Need root and mount rw

/etc/firmware/wlan

Open with text editor WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

search for gEnableBmps=1 and edit the value to 0.

Warning: this has a significant impact on battery life.

Impact in a good or bad way?

Some lucky guy got to pick up my Hayabusa and decided not to return to me -_-

So I immediately went to buy a new set. Almost tempted to get a white to pair up with my Tablet Z, but end up buying purple again +_+

Upgraded to .253 via OTA yesterday and still kept root.

Just a heads up for those still on .434 (rooted)

Like he said, he updated via OTA. Root is kept if you update via OTA.

Try clearing app data. Else, uninstall and reinstall those apps again.

Hi! all. I am having trouble switching keyboard types using the swipe down notification bar option. I have to go all the way to settings & assign the default keyboard from there. I have just update my phone to .253 firmware & rooted. This has been happening since the day i bought it & I thought it was a firmware bug & would be solved with the new .253 update but unfortunately its still there. I have tried other Xperia Z with same firmware & they are working fine. Hope someone can help.

Loving the latest leak Sony 10.3.A.0.407 Android 4.2.2 ROM for Xperia Z.

Official XDA site -
[Z][4.2.2]{LEAK} Sony JellyBean Firmware: 10.3.A.0.407 (UnlockedBootloaders ONLY) - xda-developers

Requirement:

• Unlocked Bootloader
• Full Data Wipe - Factory Reset, without doing this, the NFC update will FC forever.

What is New:

• Widget on Lockscreen.
• Customize Up to 10 toggles at Status Bar.
• New Recent Apps design with support add widgets as small app.
• Default Semi transparent for Status Bar & Notification Bar. No issue on any apps, it show black bar even on Chrome.

Screenshot:

So far everything running pretty smooth.

I don't have problems switching keyboards since day 1. You sure that under Settings -> Language & input, you've already put a tick to the keyboards that you want to switch between? Once you've done that, you just select the option in the notification bar, and a dialog box will give you the keyboards that you can switch to.

Ya. I have already put a tick on 2 keyboard types that I want to switch in settings. But when the dialogue box appear, I can't switch in between the 2 keyboards.when I tap either one the radio button doesn't switch
