[Xperia Z1 General] Ierlanfdan:
First of all I heard from the repair department that Z1's are coming in like crazy mostly screen issues (yellow) and not being waterproof or random lock ups/no boot etc.etc. Well, mine was replaced...with a Z....yeay...a Z...not a Z1...although a mistake while booking (database wasn't ready for Z1) I am thinking of keeping the Z...Anybody can change my mind? Besides the speed it's quite ok..missing the Z1 GUI though but I can flash it ofcourse with some custom firmware ...I am in doubt...
[Xperia Z1 General] youwonder:
Tried mine in a pool first week I got it. Gave me a heart attack when the screen didn't respond to touch after I pulled it out, but turning it off and on fixed that. Also the headphone jack didn't work too well (would cut out and stop music like it didn't have a clear connection) until I cleaned it out with a paper towel.
[Xperia Z1 General] j0sh1:
True, But i would say G2 is way better. G2 screen is better in each and every way. Z1 is so heavy and having a small screen still it feels like im holding a galaxy note. Not really a one hand use phone. I had thought id be able to use the phone under shower for example but the only thing u can use is the camera... i dont dip in a swimming pool or go beaches everyday so its useless for me. The phones gigantic bezels used to make me feel depressed. and to be honest 99.9% of the times the g2 camera is as good as the z1 camera.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
The only problem I have with the Xperia Z1's screen is viewing angles, other than that its what I expected. I still disagree with the G2 camera being superior, with .257 I think the camera is pretty amazing, have you seen the comparisons? the LG G2 is a great phone but I do prefer Xperia, and yeah that giant bezel isn't the best design this phone could have had but I think Sony needed to enlarge the bezel to fit all the internals in.
[Xperia Z1 General] Androguide.fr:
Sony recommends not to use the speaker or headset jack for 3 hours after immerging the phone.

That being said, I listen to music through the speaker in the shower every day and didn't have any problem so far.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hupsaflups:
Mine has been in the pool, under the shower and in the rain with no issues at all. Will try using the headphone jack after it has been in the pool too see what happens.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
I actually had a play with the G2 and was quite impressed by it.. The screen is definetly better than the Z1 overall.. Even the whites are more white... Camera was ok ish... Didn't really do a comparison.. However what put me off was

1. 16GB storage with only 10.6GB usable, No SD Card

2. LG's non-existent software support

3.UI looks too much like Touchwiz..

4. It just feels like a Samsung copy tbh... Also doesn't feel as well built as Z1...

On the whole, Z1 is better IMO...
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
On the Xperia Z1 unit in the O2 store the whites didn't have the yellow hue. Even though some units do have it, it can be fixed anyway.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Yeah I've noticed that at quite a few stores... My Z1 which was from Phones4u has a yellow hue which I mostly got rid off using screen adjuster... I would however prefer to have the white balance settings...
[Xperia Z1 General] cyrom:
Just tested and compared z1 and z's display and found out that my z's display is much better.
[Xperia Z1 General] Thraxzzz:
What's your value for screen adjuster?
[Xperia Z1 General] hmoooood:
I took my phone z1 with me in the shower and was playing music :) but i surprised that the sound decreased too much :) then i waited about half hour then back normal, also the touch wasn't good when there is water on the screen. Hopefully i don't need to go to sony to replace my phone :)

I don't use screen protection

And also i found this in sony website instructions.

If a touch malfunction occurs on the screen of your device, tap in the small application bar to activate the Touch Blocker function.

I've no idea what they ment?
[Xperia Z1 General] bogdan wst:
It means that while you hold the phone unde water drops it is better to activate Touch Blocker so that the touch screen doesn't start behaving in an occuard way (while while wather hits the screen). It blocks the touch screen's opperability.
[Xperia Z1 General] hmoooood:
I didn't get that how to activate the Blocker touch screen?
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
+10 blue and -4 contrast... Still have some yellow hue.. Really need Sony to add white balance settings...

Same Universal performance but no swivel screen (better) and probaly a bit thinner.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xcilion:
Again, no VGA display.....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
There's no way this is going to replace my Universal. I wouldn't even consider anything without a VGA screen at this point. Besides... I like the swivel screen that affords a larger keyboard.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
Agree.

Hermes looks like the 3G replacement for the Wizard anyway.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Hoax photo - video cam spelled as 'vedio cam'

And it's a JAM style phone, not a 'true' XDA type phone.

No contest.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
For me, there is a contest. I'll miss the VGA screen, but I think I can cope. I went from a JAM to an Exec for 3G, now there's no reason for me not to go back to the smaller size, especially since I have an aquapac and a RAM Mount holder all at the right size for my bike and GPS... :)

What's the going rate for a second hand Exec?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
I dont know if its the same pic or not (too lazxy to click the link, and correct my spelling apparently)

But heres the pic of the Hermes I came across a month ago in another article.

In any case this is just a spiffed up 3G version of the Wizard, I dont see it as a competitor for the Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
For many, thnat's effectively what the Universal is. :)

(And a damned good one!)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Prerna:
What other good alternatives are coming?

I'd like a VGA but don't want to come back to the Universal as it's too big for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlforlife:
im not dealing with HTC anymore..the new one i bought crapped up on me 4days later. (white screen)

I think i will go Symbian OS :shock:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
All hardware has a percentage of faults. Don't let one faulty device make you change to a completly different OS, you fool.

You obviously wnted a HTC Windows OS device for some sort of good reason.

Why not simply get a different Mobile Windows device?

Is that too easy?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlforlife:
Yeah, you are right. The screen that died on me has made me moody and thats not right. Infact WM 5 devices are of the advantage if you want to use it corporately..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Prerna:
Yes, in a corporate usage it is a must; although I also enjoy playing great games, which I'm not quite sure to get the same quality in other systems... There are also a huge choice of all kind of softwares available...

I can't imagine going for another OS.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bnycastro:
I am considering the Hermes as well but I am waiting on the replacement for the Uni to come out [if HTC has something planned] before I make my decision final. I'd probably miss VGA as well I tried using a qVGA device again [hp iPAQ rw6828] and always ended up going back to the Uni's gorgeous VGA screen. I've since sold the iPAQ. :wink:

As for Symbian OS I think it depends on which variant of the OS, for now I'd stay away from the N series [3rd Ed of Symbian Series 60] as most people I know who got these mobiles complain that they're really slow... maybe the hardware needs to be updated by Nokia to support their *new* OS.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TRJS:
Ehm, hello? Hermes is a mobile phone with PDA capabilites and the Universal is a PDA (rather even a UMPC) with phone capabilities. These two are different kind of devices, as both are what they are in first place, but can never be perfect for what they are supposed to be in second place! I always wanted a replacement for my Psion Revo, with a keyboard big enough to actually write. And I do write with 6-8 fingers on my Universal, where as on the Wizard I can write with 2-4 fingers max - that makes a difference. Plus I can put the Universal on the table and put the screen in such a position so I can do video calls without having to hold the device - impossible with Hermes! Don't get me wrong: Hermes is a wonderful device for those who want a mobile phone with A+ hard- and software. But it can never be a replacement for those who want a UMPC they really can work with...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] denmes:
Right said!

I have also got a lot of fresh air with the Uni, maybe the first time after leaving my Revo.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] raymondu999:
I'd say that both are PDAs with phone capabilities, and not a phone with PDA capabilities. However, the Uni is more focused on PDA (maybe 80% PDA 20 phone) and the Hermes is something like (60% pda 40 phone). HOwever, right now I'm after an Advance TC MAGIC. I'll miss my Exec's VGA though... if only we could upgrade screens to VGA at will... along with the appropriate OS tweaks, of course.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
Is this the first release of it in the UK?

The Register reports on the Orange SPV M3100.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] raymondu999:
There's also HTC TyTN already out.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tech.junkie:
nope, not a universal upd8/upgrade/replacement as its not VGA.

yes, i do agree that WM PDA-phones r more PDA than phone as opposed 2 symbian devices w/c r more phone than PDA. d palm OS PDA-phones (treos) can b classified IMO as d more balanced PDA & phone. but im more of a PDA person than phone so i still prefer WM PDA-phones.

y doesnt HTC release another VGA PPC-phone? isnt d universal popular enough? :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clustered:
i like Universal more...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Taz69:
At the minuite the Universal is in a class of 1.

I'll hold m breath for a proper successor to the Universal and just hope it retains a decent size keyboard and screen (obviously VGA over 3")

Not even the UMPCs can compete with the Universal in terms of all-in-one usability. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TheBlasphemer:
I'm looking for a replacement to my Universal, as my Universal is broken and the insurance will probably let me buy a new one.

I might buy a new Universal, but it's a tad too bulky to be honest.

The Hermes is a good contender, butit severely lets me down on the following points:

Micro-SD, meaning slow and small (max 1GB, possible 2GB) external mem

No sound-jack

No VGA

Tiny keyboard, doesn't even have a seperate row for numbers :S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Prerna:
Sorry, no sound jack at all?? Then how to listen to MP3s?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jb2001:
Hi folks...first post.

i have a HP Ipaq Hx4700 and I'm seriously looking at the Universal as a replacement as I fancie the aditional connectivity and integrated keyboard.

Can you guys give me any reasons why i "shouldn't" change. ie any ROM issues that I should be aware of or specific devices I should stay clear of.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zpdy:
ahhhh

ahhh,

not comfortable as cellular phone (large size to talk without bt headset) and not comfortable as pda (small screen and small keyboard).

i will stay with my jasjar. but this is a nice toy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gmaugham:
I believe you must plug an adapter into the mini-USB port on the bottom of the device. That's going to be a nuisance unless it supports AKU2 and you use Bluetooth headphones for music.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BlackWolf757:
I was really annoyed about the stupid notification about rooted apps after rooting my GN3.

Fix? Download Titanium Backup and search for anything with 'Knox' in it. As always I backed up to SD card just in case. Deleted the apps, rebooted phone and now I don't get the stupid message anymore.

Screw Samsung Knox lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kortekn:
I've seen a lot of people mentioning Knox, but mine wasn't pre installed (it is on the phone as a link to install) and I haven't gotten any notices for root or root apps yet. Lumen bar was annoying though, I got rid of that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] richmc73:
Not rooted yet(only cause I haven't looked how to do it yet) but I don't see anything with Knox. Agree with the Lumen bar comment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] -viperboy-:
Removing /system/app/KNOXAgent.apk should take care of the notifications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sicerr:
I just Froze the Knox Notification, and they went away. It even cleared the notification that as there. The only issue im having is with Xposed, spoofing the system to read official instead of custom.

I flashed .67 then rooted. Somewhere in the mix I lost the native browser! I would use chrome and move on but chrome isn't allowing me to add bookmark links to the home screen....which is key for me. Anyone know how the native one got hosed?

Chrome is the default browser. Did mean the old stock android "Browser"?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ren2008:
There you go! Just install and reboot. Stock AOSP Android native browser:

Are you sure?? Chrome lets me add a widget with direct links of my choosing to any screen. Looks exactly like the native browser widget with the only difference being the Chrome sign in the lower right corner.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cwoodffr:
Thanks all. I meant that in stock form the ZL had a chrome icon and another browser that had a blue globe as an icon. They seemed to be different in the way the operated.

I did figure out how to do the home screen link. It won't offer it if you are in the "star fav's" view of the bookmarks, while the normal bookmark view enabled it. Is there any advantage to the stock android browser? That must be what I thought was the "Sony" browser.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Huh, my ZL never came with android browser, only chrome.

Afaik Chrome is just about better than the stock browser in every way, atleast on the ZL.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] n1vlek:
I've flashed a few times on 4.3 roms and I want to know a way where I don't have to goto recovery and format data. I flashed a few before with TWRP 2.4/5. Now I have 2.6.3.0.. I'm running stock ZVC
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
So I'm guessing you want to bounce back and fourth installing stock and CM Roms without clearing data? Or different CM Roms for that matter.

I don't know much tech stuff, but every ROM is layed out differently. And stores it's info in different ways.

So a setting you have, for say Carbon might interfere with a setting in PAC.

That's my best way to explain it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] n1vlek:
I'll say be in a custom ROM and don't have to keep formatting data to use the ROM again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] williamjr27:
You could always get a ROM running the way you like, create a back up and then flash a new one and repeat. Now when you want to switch ROMs its as easy as hitting the restore button.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Syprus21:
Do you mean you don't want to lose files on your SD card? You don't have to format data every time you install a new rom. Factory reset - > wipe system - > wipe cache -> wipe d cache -> flash rom -> flash gapps

This will keep your actual files on your sd card for every rom you bounce to. If you mean Application data (login info, candy crush progression, etc...) use Titanium and backup before flashing a new rom and restore after.

Hope that helps!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
Once you are on CM official you can update easily through the tool in settings. But to switch back and forth from CM to stock is quite difficult on this phone.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colloque:
That is indeed the built in weather widget out of the box, in order to have that animation you have to refresh the widget and if the weather is sunny then you will get the same animation in the video. I am using the international version D802, not sure if this is applicable on other variants.:)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeavyHDx:
Hi forums,

TL;DR: Could turning up the color-settings in TricksterMOD cause burn-ins?

I recently got my GNex and after fixing the SIM-tray making the phone usable again I of course unlocked the bootloader and flashed ROMs and Kernels (atm CM10.2 latest nightly + Franco kernel) and I use TricksterMOD to make some specific settings (like turning FSync off) and I also found Settings for screen colors, now what I did is just turn those sliders up all the way and set all other options (like Contrast and Gamma) to 0 (as seen on the attatchment), now I have an extremely vibrant and colorful display without this annoying blue-tone everywhere, even whites look more natural now but I've seen some AMOLED-Phones (specifically 2 GS2s from friends) that have things like the Status Bar or the keyboard burned in into the Display and now I worry that that could maybe happen to my Phone as well because of the settings.

I'd like to know your experience and if you think that that's possible, if so I'll turn them down even though I really really love this display now, it's literally the best display I've ever owned (and I have two IPS Monitors in front of me right now)

I'm using a completely black theme over most of the Phone (black status bar of course, black keyboard, black menu-elements, dark backgrounds, saves Battery and looks insanely awesome on this display) that should prevent burn in's from for example the keyboard since black pixels are not lit, but I want to know if it's more likely if the display is brighter due to the settings.

Sry for this long post but you've got the short version at the top if you don't want to read everything :p

Thanks for your time and help in advance!

On Wednesday, I switched from my Google Playstore Galaxy Nexus to a TMobile branded Galaxy Note 3. I paid for the phone in full, so no need to upgrade my plan or anything. I have T-Zones and have been using it for years now with no issues. Today, I now have an internet paywall, and it is telling me to upgrade, yet it worked fine on T-Zones yesterday and the day before. Any ideas?

Has anyone else gotten T-Zones to work with their Note 3?

[General Questions and Answers] allanmb:
Well, I am typing this message from my new Exec, and I have to say on the whole I am impressed. I have a few questions though:

1) Specs say 1.3Megapixel camera, but I have the option of 2MP mode, is this normal? Is it a software resolution increase?

2) The phone sometimes loses all reception and never reconnects until i turn on flight mode and then off again. Anybody else experience this?

3) Can I get rid of the damned O2 Active part? when i change screen orientation, it takes longer than i expected to redraw the screen. I think this is due to the O2 UI.

4) Finally, there is a button on the side with a lightbulb beside it, what is it supposed to do? mine doesn't appear to do anything...
