The notification panel probably can be fixed by using custom ROMs
The speaker part will not happen. It's just too small.
Shourtcuts on lockscreen, again probably a custom ROM. I have tried 3rd party apps for adding shortcuts in the lockscreen but they were horrible.
The next Xperia model that Sony should bring out should have improved camera and better screen (eg S-LCD3) instead of standard LCD. Oh and better speakers too.

i hope to be satisfy by 4.2.2

Don't expect too much with 4.2.2. I reckon it will only have little improvements.

any rumor about 4.2 ?

Did you test one of the audio mods available in development section?
These makes speaker really, really loud!

No because I have to root it. Too lazy to do that. I had been a recovering flashing addict and don't want to go through that again.

What I'd like to see are things like the ability for Smart Connect to turn NFC off/on,
to make distinguishing between charging points easier since using NFC is the only way to do that.

and New UI!

Hold up...I swore I saw and used an option to block incoming calls from certain persons. In the phonebook when you click on a contact you can send their calls straight to voicemail, and in Settings/Call Settings you can go in Call barring. Well if thats what you mean by "Blocking mode for incoming calls"

I'd think twice about that. Rooting will fix allmost all your problems.
- Customize and more switch button notification panel
With root you can get a lot more, i currently have 8
- Fixing LED specifications to use and related stamina mode
Theres a fix on the forums for this. It allows the LED to work even in Stamina mode
- More shortcuts on lock screen
Also possible with root
- louder speaker
Use one of the modded audio's. I use it myself, and turn on the Loud setting when listening (internet) radio under the shower

I don't have to think twice about it. I know all about rooting. And I'd rather not do it. Just sick to death of flashing this and flashing that. I just wanna use the phone and be done with it.

ya, agree with those points.
1-less compression of image(we dont mind the big size of the pic, else why we bought sd cards 囧) and faster camera launch, even HTC release 2nd update for improving the camera .
2-music, ya, even XDA developers can come out with mod that improve the sound louder and clearer, its appear to be poor software/firmware implement by the software engineer in Sony.
The walkman apps doesn't have refresh button to refresh the media when we transfer new music into the phone. And my walkman apps play song, it appear to bit slightly lag (0.5sec of music pause) for many times in a song, and goes on, I have to use 3rd party music apps to play song smoothly.
3-screen, at least give us the WB software to adjust the color like the one in Xperia ZL and SP.
4- battery life - which sony can implement extra feature like "power saving mode" which limit the processing core to lower frequency (1 or 1.2ghz) which surely improve battery life. Like what Samsung did on Note 2( as I bought one for my sister and I found out it's really a big plus for extending battery life by lowering the processing power).
Althought rooting phone can limit the processing core power and solve all those issue we address, but apparently not all of us want to risk(or good at), root(rooting) our phone to do that.
Sony, please make improvement. >< we do love you ~
just dont make us dissapoint and regret.

Any link to make louder speaker? Offcourse rooted

integrated flac support and better bass audio quality for headphones music sounds horrible in my xz hehe also a way to completely backup apps installed on the phone or create a list that can be imported and downloaded every time you do a factory reset and a way to backup app data in the same program, a way to root phones on 4.3 with a locked bootloader would be nice too i've tried all methods none have worked so far...

Individual notification tones in texting app.
Individual LED notification color per contact in texting app.
The possibility to not only assign a custom ring tone per contact but also set a specific contact ring tone to be completely off.
Increase MMS max size.
Flip tiles toggles, CM style.
AOSP lock screen with shortcuts and flashlight.

[Q] Notes 3 camera app all setting menu is missing

I don;t know what happened to my notes 3 ,recently I notified all setting menu for camera,under camera was gone,no such an option for camera,video and setting.also I'm not able to edit photos from here or choose different sense for the photos.
can you please advise how I can re-enable this menu option?
thank you.

Camera settings missing...
Hey guys,
I have a question I update from 4.3 to 4.4.2, I've root the phone and I have some shortcomings:
1). The camera has no settings.
2). When you go into the alarm settings are no options like in Android 4.3
3). In alarm section, missing tab dock, a kind of screensaver that was current month, the weather and some optional shortcuts. That missing too.
The problem is KitKat 4.4.2 or is because I rooted?
(Since I have studied, I noticed that it is a bug of android)
If anyone has encountered the same problem and it was resolved please contact me.
Thanks in advance.

Downlaod a Samsung based custom rom and extract it with 7-zip and look for the camera app apk. Copy it and place it in system/apps and reboot. That should fix it or look on Google for the Note 3 4.4.2 camera app.

Camera shutter sound

Hi! I really like the new camera on my s5 but I can't turn the shutter sound off. I sometimes take pictures in the bus from the outside landscape so its very annoying to have. Is there a way to turn this off without having to root the phone or using a 3th party app?

In camera app, tap settings, you should get all the icons such as picture size, burst shots, etc. It's a 4x4 row of settings. What isn't obvious is that this row will scroll, just scroll down and you'll get another 11 or so options, one of which is the shutter sound.

Must be carrier specific. Verizon does not have this toggle. The only way to turn off shutter sound is to turn your phone on vibrate or silent.

FWIW T-Mobile version has it.

My T-Mobile-branded S5 (germany) doesn't have it either. It works for me if I mute the whole phone (vibrate or mute) the shutter sound is off too.
If you have root, it shouldn't be a problem to just delete/rename the sound file, but I'm nor rooted (yet), so can't tell for sure.

Lower down the volume or put it in silence. On mine, I can't find way to turn it off.

[Q] Shutter Sound

Does anybody know of a way to switch off the camera shutter sound? It's really loud. I have the N910F / Vodafone / The Netherlands. There's no option in the camera settings. Mute the phone doesn't do the trick, and the Enforced Stream Silencer can't get it done either In Camera FV-5 it's possible but I'd like to use the options of the Samsung app.

This is always an issue with phones, as it's in part due to privacy laws that the option to turn off the sound is missing. Usually someone comes along with a MOD but I tend to root my phones so I all I do is delete or rename the sound files found in /system/media/audio/ui

Thanks. I think I've used the wrong term. With 'Mute' I meant I set all the different volume controls to zero. Then it's in the Silent Mode, right?

T-Mobile version has a toggle in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound. On my device it was toggled off by default.

Silent notifications when their sound is On

All notifications come silently, with vibrations only, although their sound is on. I think, that is because I use DND rules.
Does anyone have the issue too? How to fix that?
I have 3 devices and all of them have the same issue. The problem came, I think, when they got Android 8 or 8.1.

Just Google the do not disturb mode
Try and see difference between the modes
Look at automatic rules for DND
Voila

No-no. Of course, when DND is ON, I don't hear any notifications.
But! When DND is OFF, notifications don't play sounds.
Restart helps, but not always.

No. Maybe there is some app which causes the problem. And I am almost sure about it. Because just my phones have the problem and I cannot Google similar symptoms. But what the app - I don't know.
My unusual apps:
- ACR (audio call recorder)
- Google Fit
- SoloLearn
- Zedge

I use Google fit too and except a little battery drain ? i have my notification sound.
So you're not rooted etc... Just using app from playstore.
Start eliminate them one by one
1-Check apps that use accessibility service
(under settings / accessibility)
2-Check apps that use notification permissions
(under settings / applications / show permissions and look the notification tab)
3-Did the problem hapenned after a "specific date" it could also be an app update
Zedge app is made to customize notification sound try uninstall this one first.
Also is this happening for all app?
Did you put the ringtone sound to the lowest?
Because on stock notification sound volume is the same as ringtone one. (except with root - but maybe an app you used put it to the lowest)
Putting ringtone sound maybe would debug the thing.
Do you hear the ringtone when a call comes in?
I'm sorry bro i can just suggest some idea you already tried. I hope someone got the same problem and manage to fix. Maybe you'll be the one that will help future user in this case ?
Good luck with this. Sometimes solution is very simple. Sometimes it just need a factory reset. But you don't learn where you f*cked up
