Hi, for z1c owners. Does your phone screen make a click sound when you put pressure in the center of the screen?

My phone touch responsiveness is weird and I just realized when I press on the screen it clicks as if something is not glued on correctly? My z1 doesn't do it.

Feeling Happy With Xperia Z1 compact

My xperia z1 compact was alive 2 days 19 hours with 4% remain on the first charge with moderate use,browsing,listening music,Mobile voip and viber,phone call,email,reading newspaper Most of the time
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jjfad:
In refarmed areas are you getting 3G or just 2G?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] captain_69uk:
For owners... :)

How much free ram does the Z1C have normally?

On my Xperia SP around 250mb to 300mb is normal.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] steanne:
currently showing 725mb free out of 2 gigs. poor thing doesn't know what's waiting for it when i start boinc.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] captain_69uk:
Great. My Xperia SP closes any music player you use at the same time as a browser like chrome or opera.

I wanna get a Z1C partly so I can browse and listen to music together. You had any issues with this?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Darkimmortal:
About 900mb free with nothing extra running

For TMobile USA users...even thought when you 1st install your sims card during it pre-set up it says that it downloads Tmobile's MMS settings but in fact it doesn't, you will need to go into APN settings and manually configure your settings to exactly this: (otherwise your MMS will not work)

Guessing it won't get LTE on ATT?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darksideauto:
I think it can. Supports band 2 and 4. Not sure where and if those bands have been utilized. I'm just pulling info from my phones package and Wikipedia.

Want to buy! Have to buy! Can resist no longer!

I'm looking for purchase advice. My plan is to wait a couple of weeks to see how the USA plans develop, but by the end of February my patience will be gone and I'll have to pull the trigger in whatever way is possible. If it matters, I'll be using it on a T-Mobile MVNO with 4G LTE ('refarmed on AWS 1700/2100).

It seems that all the purchases for import have been from Clove in the U.K. Any problems I should be aware? Precautions to take in the purchase process? Tips to minimize shipping/customs fees?

Other recommended sellers?

How about warranty. How long? What's the procedure if I have a manufacturer's defect?

Much thanks to the pioneering souls who have gone before me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chch:
Sony NZ have confirmed that this phone will be in Australia by the end of this month and New Zealand by the beginning of next month.

Buying from Sony provides an international warranty which is handy for me.

Kinda disappointed about many of the camera comments here and in reviews. I was hoping that the 20mpix camera would have some great algorithms to turn out some good 5mpix shots and lossless zoom (like the Nokia 1020 does). I couldn't own a WP until 8.1 comes out as it's just too annoyingly limited atm
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bossk128:
After all my chat in this thread about the ASF I directly asked Sony Support. I was told that removing the ASF would not affect the manufacturing warranty, but that if the glass was shattered and the ASF was not fitted this would impact whether they would repair the screen under warranty. I wonder if there are people who might drop a phone, have the screen smash, and Sony have replaced the screen under warranty? I think they are stating they won't repair a screen that doesn't have an ASF fitted. If this is the case, I accept that, and good for Sony repairing damage caused by butter finger consumers!

I'll still be removing the ASF when I get mine.

Interestingly, they stated Gorilla Glass and not Dragontrail glass. Also, they didn't have a timeframe for Android 4.4. I'm off to the Developers thread to see what's happening over there :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] codified:
Not sure why people want to do this. What do you gain? To me the phone looks uglier without the ASF (which has the Sony logo on it), it just looks like a generic Chinese android phone
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tania247260:
I do not understand why people taking off screen protector which has Sony logo.This screen protector is really good for phone.Without ASF it looks like a phone without brand
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bossk128:
Well, I think I'll remove it, I'll have to wait and see what it feels like. I like the feel of the naked glass under my finger, it needs to slide and be proper responsive. Maybe the ASF will be fine.....

As far as the logo goes, I'm not buying it because it looks good and I don't care that it's a Sony: I'm buying for specs and form factor.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ajbattaglia83:
I have been using this phone for a couple of weeks now and I still can't put it down and the battery life has been excellent, except for few annoying software glitches here and there. I just have a bad feeling the 4.4 update is still a couple of months away
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CAL7:
Sony announced the Z2 and Z2 Tablet with KitKat, presumably in March. Doesn't mean anything for sure for the Z1's, but I think it's reason for hope.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nizarnoor:
I accidentally dropped my phone on the floor. Now I can see/feel some scratches on its top left corner (frame and the microUSB flap). :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Riyal:
Finally! Got my Xperia Z1 Compact hahaha time to do some back reading on compiling kernel for Sony. Seems like a lot has changed since I switched to HTC :D I hope I could contribute a lot on this device since there's not much development going on for now. :)

Any Sony Xperia developers from Z to Z1 willing to give me a boost by introducing basic things? Last development I made for Sony was when I was still using my Xperia Pro so I'm pretty sure alot has changed since then.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slick2404:
Hey guys, new Z1 Compact user here. Ordered one through Clove to my hometown in Canada, and the transaction went relatively smoothly.

I’ve been through my share of phones, but haven’t used a Sony phone since the first Sony Ericsson T610!

I switched over from a Nexus 5 and am loving the form factor and battery life, have yet to test out the camera properly and speakers but I think they will be up to par.

Look forward to getting to know everyone in this section of XDA!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CAL7:
Got my Z1 Compact! But really stupid question...

I'm in the States and my Z1C arrived yesterday. I'll give a full report when I get it going. For now, I am stymied by the stupidest problem imaginable. I've searched for tutorials or videos, but nothing. So, here goes:

I cannot figure out how to put the micro-SIM into the slot!!!!

Instructions:
1 Remove the cover of the micro SIM card slot.
2 Pull out the micro SIM card holder.
3 Remove the micro SIM card.
4 Insert the micro SIM card holder back into its slot.
5 Re-attach the micro SIM card slot cover

Seems simple enough, but I am totally flumoxed. Does the flexible tray come all the way out? It seems like it will break if I pull any harder.

Can't even say for certain which way is up. The picture shows it a certain way, but it's visually ambiguous. Is it "up" when the front of the phone is up and the micro-SIM slot is to the left, bottom? I think that's right, but one picture shows it opposite. The teeny fingernail tab curls, but I don't know if that is intentional or just random - if intentional, does the SIM go on the side of the curl up or down?

With the flexible tray out, I don't see or feel any space that will allow the tray+SIM to slide back in.

Just to be sure about my SIM, I bought this particularly for the Z1C, so I bought what is described as a "micro SIM". It is 13mm wide by 15mm long.

Thanks for any guidance. I'm sure this is stupidly simple for anybody who has done it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ajbattaglia83:
I came from a nexus 5 also I just wanted a smaller phone with good specs. One thing I really liked about the N5 was the camera I seemed to consistently get good photos. With that being said I find superior auto mode is just terrible and I have to use manual mode but I do get really good photos with this camera but in low light ISO has to be controlled manually or the software makes it go really high distorting the photo. Another app I found that works flawlessly with the z1c is camera fv-5 and with everything in auto mode I get really good shots better than the Sony software and I'm extremely happy with the camera now. Just thought I'd throw that out there
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CollinFX45:
This is possibly the worst-designed SIM slot I have ever seen on any phone and I had very similar trouble. Mine had some sticker shoved in there too, to make matters worse. I yanked that out first and tore it off so now there is a piece of sticker stuck in mine - lovely. It took me five or six tries with the SIM card but it eventually went in. I pressed it in, tray and all, with a thumb tack.

I think you're doing it all correctly, so just keep trying. Mine resulted in many swear words :) Sorry I cannot be more specific in my suggestions.

-Collin-
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CAL7:
Thanks! Your encouragement that I was at least on the right track helped. I finally identified and extracted the tray and then it was just a matter of fiddling with it until the whole unit went in intact.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] i_have_a_bike:
The tray is lightly sunken, and allows for a very exact fit of the simcard. place the sim card in and move it around untill its fully locked into place and cant move in any direction laterally. Then and only then slide the tray back in.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] androizers:
Just curious to know, If Doomlord kernel will work in Xperia Z1 Compact or not...

Don't consider it to be noobish, cuz I don't have any knowledge bout kernels, bt I think it will work in dat cuz same chipset, same processor and GPU as that of Z1..

Obvious some editing will b done wid dose kernels bt might get worked on our devices...!!!! :D:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rototti:
Here is his answer: link
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Riyal:
I'm a kernel developer. I can fully port doomkernel if I want to in Xperia Z1 Compact :) Still getting the hang of the device... Will start kernel development as soon as I unlock the bootloader of my phone. Right now I'm still bone stock just in case I notice issues I could still swap my phone. :P
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] androizers:
So its worth posting my comment in dis section I guess so... :D

Anyhow, thanks for the valueable reply back, as em planning to get dis device soon as I've never listen/seen such a positive review of any phone expect google nexus series on net, nd I think i must consider it to b worth purchasing..

Bt Still, being uh r a kernel developer, I shud must know ur point of view bout the z1 compact, how actually uh like dis device.. Is it worth buying ryte now??
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Riyal:
Main reason why I bought the z1c is because of the small size and high specs. This is a one of a kind right now in the android ecosystem and for the sole reason that I am really a fanatic of small devices. When it comes to software though I'm still a big fanatic of sense in HTC devices. But still I prefer having a handy phone that fits perfectly in my hand that any oversides phones with feature pack softwares. :) If you're not into the small device niche then I suggest you wait for the Xperia Z2.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] androizers:
Same here, I also want the same requirements as u want, small and a great power house of specs...

Bt personally I don't like Sense UI, or its due to reason cuz em not used to it... Imo..

I'm also considering to buy Z1 compact dis month, and bout Z2, I know Its worth waiting, bt its not a huge upgradation upon Z1 compact instead of Z users or Z1 users..(just thinking)

And also under the hood, Z2 will not b under my budget for a whole lot of 1 year :P, so y buying an old gadget.

We shud njoy gadgets, which r latest, not waiting for them over months for price drops..

How It feels If I buy an 15 days old bread @ 30% off... :cool::what:

Does dat make any sense...

So better buy the gadget, which suits ur budget as well as ur practical day to day life..

As em from Xperia P community, I think its a great upgradation from Xperia P to Xperia Z1 Compact.. :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] galaga742:
hi guys, I recently got the device and it is completely awesome, such a compact powerhouse and the battery life is sick, loving it. I am interested in getting to know the country my device was made for, this is to know when to expect the software updates, is there a way to know the country? thanks in advance.

Quick Question: Is there a torch/flashlight shortcut anywhere? Was hoping to have one as a shortcut on the pull down menu.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] thermalboyz:
There is a way to find it but u can only find it in stock camera app > Flash Light > Torch. Other than that u can install flashlight app from play store or if u r rooted you can try Xposed - Xperia Xposed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Riyal:
There is a small app for flashlight...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aste.smallapp.flash
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] shiocd:
Search play store for com.farproc.nexustorch

Small, no shady permissions, simple on/off toggle, configurable timeout, lockscreen widget.

What's not to like?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Option58:
Maybe you can even set Sony's flashlight toggles in status bar.

But if you can't install "power toggles" from Play Store. You can choose "notification bar" toggles.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] me4tux:
Hi, will this phone be sold by the Sony Store in the US?

I have seen folks in the US on this thread using this phone currently.

Where do you buy them (assume there is international warranty) ?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CAL7:
No announcements from Sony for the U.S. The only reports I have seen are for purchases from Clove in the U.K.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] me4tux:
Thanks. I just looked at their website. ~ $550usd after conversion and you still have to factor in shipping costs. Does that sound like what others have paid for theirs so far?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CAL7:
Clove is optimistic on their USD conversion factor...turns out to be about $590 with shipping.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Lasantha:

Hello, LG "knock on" was implemented on Z2.

Will be there also on Z1 compact in the future?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bossk128:
Because I think it will be even better with KK for the same money. My One X was transformed by KK vs ICS.

Gives me a couple more months to put savings from a sim only contract towards the handset.

I have flashbleed issues with the phone. 99% of the pictures are having this flashbleed issue when i use flash. if i use the auto mode the pictures arent still that great. my 4 year old HTC DHD beats this xperia z1 compact when it comes to camera quality.

most of them say it hasnt affected the black ones much and i have a white one. i am planning to give it for service tomorrow.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bossk128:

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arup ZR:
The camera is what made me get rid of my 1020 Nokia, I was never ever happy with the fake popped up colors in it. I had to edit every pic on PC before upload. Compared to my older Nokia 808 which I sold off, the 1020 was definitely not up to the mark. The 41MP pics did have the resolution but also tons of noise. The Z1c allows me to point and shoot which is exactly what I want and upload. I have taken some great daytime and nightime pics. Night time pics are best done in flash off manual mode if you want critical results. I have a black body so flash bleed is never an issue for me.

For critical work I do it on my newest SONY NEX-7r which with its shattering 36MP wipes the clock out of all DSLR including the Nikon D800e which uses the same sensor. The quality is on par with medium format digital cameras like Pentax etc.

Does the wifi calling work ok with T-mobile?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CAL7:
How do you get the TMO Wi-Fi calling app on the Z1C?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slick2404:
1020 is the best camera on a smart phone, next to none. No question about it. Leading one to believe the z1 compact is better, is ridiculous.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arup ZR:
Thats your subjective opinion and the verdict varies from person to person and from reviews. The DxO mark says the same and that too from an early release of the Z1. Anyways as a user of both, thats my conclusion, the 808 was excellent but not the 1020.Believing that SONY team will waste their time on a product thats designed to be camera centric and falling short is preposterous.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ts1506:
Any Z1 Compact owner here, wanted to ask a few things I have been reading about

1. Are you facing Flash Bleed issue in low light

2. Can you write to microSD after 4.4 update from inside phone (say using ES file explorer)

3. After 4.4 update, is it true that Z2 camera addons dont work anymore (like Background Defocus and some others)

4. Any case of overheating ?

Also, are you guys facing any issues of lag, slowdowns, stutters or anything, both in JB 4.3 and KK 4.4.

Any other issues or bugs faced, please mention.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nizarnoor:
1. No.

2. Yes.

3. No.

4. No.

And no. It's pretty much perfect.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] xlr8me:
I have great difficulty in accepting the truth of this reply. Even on sonys support forums the issues are real. Anyone suggesting otherwise is unaccepting of the faults this phone has inherently from manufacturer.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nizarnoor:
Umm well... For me, this phone is awesome. The only downside that I could think of right now is the plastic back. And I just wish it had stereo speakers.

Here's a photo I just quickly took. No (or minimal?) flash bleed. I personally don't see it.

Plus in my personal opinion, nobody should take photos with flash in this type of condition if they want to see good results anyway.

And background defocus is definitely still working on KitKat. I use it pretty regularly.

I've once experienced some stuttering/lag while typing messages on Whatsapp (lol) with my Z1 (it was running on 4.3). But never with this phone fortunately (both 4.3 and 4.4).

So... I have a great difficulty accepting that I have to accept faults I really don't see. Are you suggesting I have to pretend now?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arup ZR:
I don't have any flash bleed and the pictures I am taking make me keep my RX100 home most of the times.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Revontheus:
Hey Guys I'm gonna get this phone in a few weeks I would like to know why the Headphone jack has no flap ? :)

and do we have a working root method for 4.4 locked bootloader

thanks alot

BTW: dont go loco on the flash its not that strong because its a true tone flash not LED :) led is for cheap phones
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vetko:
What is your phone's manufacturing date? (Or when did you purchase the phone?)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hol17:
The issue is real but a lot of people don't have it. I don't get the flash bleed either.

The users question asked if you are getting flash bleed and the response said no. He didn't say "No and the issue is fake ".
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] drugbone:
Z1Cs Headphone jack is water resistant, so there is no need for flap.. ;)

For root...use search button ;)

What do you think about the material on the back side of the Z1 compact?

The german site connect.de mentioned in a first hands-on that the back site is not glass.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Option58:
Official Sony whitepaper says the both front and back are made of durable tempered glass.

Read beginning of page 3

http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/d5503/whitepaper_EN_d5503_xperia_z1_compact_1.pdf

Moreover roll video above to 1:31 and you will see it is glass.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] funky0308:
Battery isn't "small" 2300mAh is equivalent to 3000mAh (or higer) on Z1.

Smaller screen and smaller battery will give same results as Z1 battery gives on Z1 screen.

For that info - it'll have plastic frame - that's not true.

It'll be exactly the same as Z1 - only screen and battery will/are (be) different.
