[Q] [REQ] Pen mode (xposed?) - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone with the know how could unlock the pen mode that Sony seemed to have planned to include for the Z2 tablet?
Rumors are that the hardware is capable, but that Sony has disabled "pen mode/glove mode".
There has been discussions about this topic before, would be eternally grateful if someone could make a mod.
Sincerely,
QT

Yuhp I would also love this. One of my main reasons of getting the z2 tab was because i thought it supported this by default because the z2 phone does.

[Q] Sony Tablet P Favorites

Hi everyone
Today i got my tablet p. Everything is working fine but after a new update( i think its the 4.0.3r5) i discovered that the Favorites are gone. Is there someone who knows how to get that app back. instead of the Favorites it shows me the Guest mode. Another thing is the PSpocket app. I dont know if it´s possible, but is there any chance of getting the pspocket app, known from the xplay, to the tablet p. I tried to install it but it crashes after i start it the first time and the widget isn´t working correctly. And the last question: I´ve heard about the stardust portable app for the sony tablets. But then i searched in the internet and only found a apk which shows me an error. Is there any possibility of getting this game. I have also Loco roco installed on the xplay. Someone here on xda removed the requirement of checking the registration. Maybe someone could do the same here. This would be really nice.
Thanks everyone for your help:victory:

A few months prior to the release of their Android 4.0.3r5, Sony issued a survey and found a majority of responders said they did not use the Favorites function, so Sony removed the function and replaced it with the Guest Mode function.
Ok thank you!

[Q] Urgent office solution? Tablet managing a phone

Hallo,
There is an office request and I know his iPad is incapable of
so I turned to my favorite forum for help
My boss needs a tablet that can control (view - accept - reject) calls and sms from his dual sim phone.
Is there any solution using an android tablet with his (nokia) phone?
Cat it work with a dual-sim android phone + android tablet?
The point is NOT to be distracted from the phone while working,
everything needs to be controlled by the tablet (phone held in pocket)
Thank you very much
it is important for me to find any solution available.
PS. I know there are dual-sim boxes to use with BT on tablet
but they require sim-cloning and turning off the mobile in order to work.
We need a seamless procedure, thus, using the phone as the call router.
no ideas?
The best android-related forum and no one bothered to reply?
nice.
You can check out Tablet Talk.
It's an app on the Play Store.
Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m_term=calls+and+texts+to+tablet+from+android
I found it just with a little Google searching.
Don't curse the forum.
Hit thanks if I helped.

not results based on tags.

Missing out (again) on Device compatibility. Virgin TV Anywhere (UK)

I see the Ultra is not supported for this App. Disappointing considering we still can't download with Iplayer.......
Devices which can use Anywhere app
Sony Xperia L (C2105)
Sony Xperia SP (C5302/03/06)
Sony Xperia Z (C6602/03)
Sony Xperia Z1 (C6902/03/06/43)
Sony Xperia U (ST25)
It's Virgin's responsibility to update their app. Send them a mail and ask if they can update it.
The Ultra is missed by a lot of developers. I've had a good response rate from developers and they have all said that they acknowledge the issue and will get an update done.

They have only just added any Android support - took them ages. Use the "Contact Us" form on their website to request it to be added, that's what I've done.
If you are rooted there uses a module for xposed called play store fixes which tricks it into thinking the dpi of the phone is different.

I don't believe it's a DPI issue, it's model.
Answer from Virgin Media, not good news:
Thanks for your e-mail to Virgin Media about the availability of the
Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere.
We understand your concern.
Right now, we're sorry but it doesn't look like we've got any plans to
add Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere App. We're always working with
the providers to bring our customers even more choice on Virgin TV, so
keep your eyes peeled! And check out www.virginmedia.com for the latest

I don't see why there's a problem, there are many android devices with the same screen resolution and processor.
I would try one of the market helper apps, or xposed, to make Google Play think you're on a recognised device. I had to do this with previous phone, Note 2, to load the tesco clubcard TV app.

Doesn't the phone have to be rooted to use xposed? If so, then the app won't work anyway on rooted devices according to the comments in the store
A late reply but I have a One X which is also not supported. I used Device Spoofer to make my device appear as the HTC One. I was able to download and install the app from the market. In addition the app's record, remote control and program manager functions work perfectly however the ability to watch programs on the phone is blocked by a root checker.

Virgin say you can use those features of the app from any android phone.

You can only install the app on an approved device though (officially). The TVguide app has record functions but it doesn't have have network remote features.
Why do they do a root check? You can use the software on any PC, with whatever hacks you want installed, but there's some obsession with root on Android...

[Q] Icontrolav 2013 for Xperia Z1 and Z1 Tablet

Dear All,
I am completely new to the forum and wish to offer my apologies in advance in case this is the wrong place to post the query as I could not find Xperia Z1 place.
In short, I have recently purchased Xperia Z1 and Z1 Tablet for the sole purpose to use both as a remote control for Pioneer Receiver. To my surprise when I tried to download from Google Play Store I received message "not compatible with your device" "this item is not available in your country".
I would be most grateful if any assistance can be provided in terms of the guide how to instal Pioneer App "Icontrol AV 2013" on Xperia Z1 phone and tablet.
Much Appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

thr s no Z1 Tablet! it was Tablet Z in 2013
and here is forum for Xperia Z2 (2014)
>> but for ur problem maybe that app use IR sensor that Xperia Z1 doesn't have it.
if it works by bluetooth or wifi so u can search for its .apk and install it by urself
:good:
Many thanks for prompt reply! I have explored a possibility to download and install the app through wi-fi, still am getting the same messages as previously mentioned.
As for the Bluetooth option, does it mean that it can be sent from another device (i.e. S4) to my Xperia Z1 and try to install it or? If not is there any crack or other way to install the app.
Much appreciated!!!!

[Q] Using a tablet as screen

Hi all,
I was hoping to have something clarified:
I was planning on using my Z2 to take notes in lectures, except the screen is too small for my liking.
I've recently been offered an old Nexus 7 and have accepted, which is a little bigger and should be easier to use with a keyboard. Here is my question:
<b> Is it possible to use the Nexus as a screen for my Z2? </b>
I've heard of but never used things like screencast, screen mirroring etc, but most of the articles on the web aren't helpful when it comes to my question. Has anyone else done anything similar? Does anyone have any useful advice for me (besides "get a mac" or something similarly sassy).
Many thanks!

Im not too sure of anything but since no one answered here is my suggestion
Try playing with:
Screen casting
Screen sharing
Screen mirroring
Team viewer
Vnc server (and client)
MHL addaptor
Not sure what else
Have you googled "how to share screen to other android devices"
Or anything simular perhaps
Or you could do what the post below suggests ;P
Why not use the nexus without the phone and take your notes locally on the tablet?
