Why isn't this considered a device on XDA - Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers

If I try to add a device to my profile, or in the XDA app, I am unable to select the XZ2 Compact. (or even the XZ2) The XZ2 Premium is an option however. Anyone know what gives or how we can fix this?

Noticed that to, probably because this is a new device? Noticed that it's not possible to search for it either.

The XZ2 Premium is selectable.
But you can't buy it.
But you can buy the XZ2 and XZ2C, wich can't be selected.

They fixed this in the last couple of days

REQ: Mirrorlink or MirrorDisplay apk

Guys I am looking for the app that allows you to get the wireless display mirroring working for Miracast based devices. Xperia Z has Mirror link or mirror display, can you check if there is an apk for this. TA

Mirror link is a new tech that is yet to be fully supported for TV's as of yet according to Sony rep today (origin was Car Connectivity), only the very latest TV's most of which are not available enable this functionality, apparently it works with NFC and the Remote control.
In addition it is not until Jelly Bean 4.2 that miracast is natively supported.
Even though Sony say they support the function, as of 8th Jan, I am not 100% sure of these claims because most other WIFI parts they have implemented like throw just don't work completely
It seems even though the phone wasnt on 4.2.2 it still had miracast support as I have got a PTV3000 which worked perfectly fine with the Sony Z using the display mirroring. But I dont have the device anymore hence why I needed the apk for this function for another device.

I will have a look for you. Although it doesn't look good, because the application requires other protocols to function, so no support on your new device, I don't believe it is not going to work. But good luck.
From looking around there look like 4 apks minimum that would be required, even then I am sure it will rely on Sony OS framework somewhere else.
Anyway please find attached files contained within the zip

Actually MirrorLink has nothing to do with TVs nor will it ever. It is a technology that is going to be used in cars only.
Thank you for the files danw_oz I will give these a try and see. Thx again

Why are all of you wasting time with this when you have awesome apps by Zappo which cover all that you need ?
Just search Zappo in Google Play Store.
I installed a few Zappo's apps which was able to send output to my LG TV, WD TV device and an AppleTV.
Just try it and let me know
cheers.

I wanna reopen this thread 'cause I have some questions for those that are more experienced than me.
I have an Xperia ZL, and I use MirrorLink with my Sony XAV-712HD Double-DIN head unit. When I connect my phone to the head unit via usb (not MHL), Google Maps starts. This is the default behavior for the combination of my Xperia phone and this head unit, as depicted on this support page:
https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1145&mdl=XAV712HD
The footnote for my phone, and other Xperia Z product line phones, reads:
The Navi application will start when the MirrorLink connection begins. To use another applications, press the Home button. Application selection may not be available while driving.
My question is that I wonder if the default behavior (to start a Navigation app upon MirrorLink connection) resides in a file, either within the phone or within the head unit. If this behavior is in a file within the phone, I would love to be able to pull the file, edit it to point to another app, and then push the file back into my phone via ADB.
Does anyone know about MirrorLink, and what it requires to behave the way it does?

[Q] Display Mirroring

Some time ago I heard that Sony brings Display Mirroring on the Xperia S, but they didn't? Is there any possibility to add this feature to the official Rom or does a Custom-Rom contain this feature?
Display mirroring isn't on any S3 powered-devices because the processor isn't powerful enough to run it at an acceptable speed, so that's why we don't have it.
Anyways, is there any possibility to try it, even if it would hardly work?

Well, software part shouldn't be hard. But I don't know how to do it, sadly.
Is it possible to extract the necessary app from the Xperia Z or another phone?

[SOLVED] Annoying "Reply with Message" when receiving call

Well i think i finally found a very handy app to disable the Reply with Message option on XPERIA phones.
Although this app does not disables that option but changes the Incoming call screen of the XPERIA phone. I am using it now in my XPERIA Z1 Compact and its working great

[Q] Sony Smartwatch 2 Accelerometer

Hi guys sorry if this is a silly question but I am wondering if the accelerometer on the Sony Smartwatch 2 is activated on the default firmware. I know the Pebble's wasn't until the recent update. According to reading there definitely seems to be one: https://developer.sony.com/develop/wearables/smartwatch-2-apis/guides/hardware-specifications/ but I haven't found an application that actually uses it.
Is it possible to to use it to track your steps via the accelerometer without having to have the phone in your pocket (but obviously having to be within Bluetooth range)?
Unless perhaps my accelerometer on my specific SW2 is broken.
Thanks in advance!
If you download the examples from Sony for developing for SW2, there is an axample app for the sensor.
Anyway the sensibility of the sensor only makes it suitable for detecting movement and turn on screen accordingly and no much more I guess
It's active. I know of 3 apps off the top of my head that use it. Yes, it can be used as a step counter. I know of one app that uses it for that, but it only works when the app is open.

Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me which app it is that counts steps?
According to the attached picture extracted from the Sony site there is definitely an accelerometer capable of being a pedometer. The app I have (walkmate) only counts my step with my phone in my pocket - i.e. it is only using the watch as a display and not a counter.

[Q] Sony Smartwatch Sw2 doesn't show dates

hi, after updating to 1.0.b.6.30/1.0.a.4.11, the smartwatch 2 doesn't show dates on custom watchfaces, this is what i've try to do :
clear cache & data on smart connect app
reset the smartwatch
reinstall smartwatch sw2 app
changing phone language to english us
but no results at all, problem still exist
does anyone have any idea of what causing it, and how to troubleshoot it? or should we wait for the next update from sony?
From the description from one widget app on google play:
" DEC UPDATE: Seems like latest firmware update messed up watchface widgets. Date and weekday and other stand-alone time displays are handled by firmware (app only feed images to show), please wait until Sony fix this bug."
Seems like a bug, if what he wrote is true. I have the same problem.
Combined day/month widgets work though, but not the standalone day and month.
I'm using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.smartwatch2.nfwfwidgets
it IS a bug, caused by the latest firmware update
nothing the app developers can do about
