Is the Sony BKB50 Firmware upgradeable ? - Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Sony BKB50 keyboard that ships with the Z4 Tablet is quite a nice bit of kit, but I'd like to be able to tweak its timeout duration. Does anyone know if this keyboard is firmware upgradeable? I can't see anything about it anywhere.

Yes, its firmware is upgradeable. I haven't chcecked for any available via Sony Companion as of yet, though

I've got a Mac and I can't see a PC Companion download for that, so I'm unable to check.

In the keyboard setup menu, there is "firmware upgrade check"

Hey thanks
Mine says Firmware 1.0 with no update. Hoping they have an option to increase the keyboard bluetooth time-out sooner or later.

New update for tablet and keyboard

I've just tried with the Mac Bridge software and that claims the software versions are up to date. The PC and Mac software should offer the same updates shouldn't they?

Yes I think the same, try next days, good luck!

I like updating my software. This update will do but I'm really looking forward to the Android 5.1 update.

What does the updat bring anyone know?

Keyboard updated to 1.08, timeout is definately longer.

Just to confirm, just updated the firmware OTA to the latest 1.08. The timeout is now way longer + few minor bugfixes and improved overall performance.

That's a pretty silly question.
Maybe Person X likes the look of the Nexus 4's UI and would like their phone to share it without having to spend ~$350.

[GUIDE/MOD] How to enable Information Ticker

Hello community!
Intro:
Information Ticker is kind of a widget in lockscreen that displays News, Stocks or Facebook updates in a small, expandable bar at the bottom of the lockscreen.
Miky500 started a thread, asking for that feature to be "ported" to the Galaxy S Advance.
Chirag_Galani mentioned me in a reply on this thread, telling me to "work"D LOL) on it(?).
Dr01nE replied too telling us how that feature is called and named a couple of files that might have to be edited in order to make this feature work.
panda00 gave us a possible way to make this work by posting.
Then, using the name that Dr01nE gave us and following panda00's instructions I have managed to enable this feature. I did nothing, really, everything I did was panda00's instructions. Thank HIM!
Enable this feature by yourself following the simple guide below or just use one of the pre-modded files from the "Downloads" section below.
Screenshots:

Assuming you are familiar with the decompiling/recompiling process follow the steps below:
1. Decompile SecSettings.apk
2. Browse to SecSettings/smali/com/android/settings.
3. Open LockScreenSettings.smali using Notepad++
4. Search for these lines:
invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/android/settings/LockScreenSettings;->getPreferenceScreen()Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;
move-result-object v9
iget-object v10, p0, Lcom/android/settings/LockScreenSettings;->mInformationTicker:Landroid/preference/SwitchPreferenceScreen;
invoke-virtual {v9, v10}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/PreferenceZ
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Mark those exact lines and delete them.
6. Save the file.
7. Recompile SecSettings.apk.
Done!
Now just push inside /system/app, set the right permissions, and reboot. Go to Lockscreen Settings and look for the "Information Ticker" option.

Hi,
Thanks for the great theme.
Just a couple of issues I've noticed with the stock Email app.
1. When an email has been opened, the "Subject" line is invisible (font same colour as background) - pic attached.
2. When adding a recipient for an email, the font used for the list of suggested contacts is a dark grey on a black background which is difficult to read.
Anyway, many thanks for the theme.
Cheers.
Well here is another one when battery is almost empty, can't read the text

Thanks for the great theme.
How much work would it be to simply change the text to being white everywhere? It's hard to read quite a few places. Or is white text everywhere a bad idea because of something I didn't think of?
Anyway. I'll never go back to stock. Great work.

Sorry this is the only latest version that work with non nexus phones. I heard that Google prevent this app for non nexus devices.
And to get original Android caller Ui goto
Settings - > default applications - > phone app
And set phone(Google dialer) as default application.
I installed this one and then 3.01.08 rc8 and set it to default and it is working perfectly. Thanks!!

It's some forum with the information about registration for beta release.
The release number that we got here is also there.

It's hard to believe that LG has basically abandoned this phone which was a flagship device just 2 years ago...Last update I got for my device was almost 8 months ago. So much for their software development center...
Is LG teasing us or are they releasing a pie update?
