Not to diss cyanogenmod or anything but currently nightlies are a bit iffy, may work well for you but may I suggest for the time being you switch to beanstalk ROM you will get superior battery life, performance and a a lot more features it should also fix audio as I've experienced excellent audio quality with the ROM.

A very got alternative to Stamina is Greenify. It hibernates apps when you don't use them. It is basically the same thing Stamina does. The only thing you won't have is that internet connection won't turn off when you switch off your screen. But with Tasker or Llama you can create a profile to change to 2G when turning off screen and switch back to 3G or even Lte when turning screen on.

Because Xperia Z's CyanogenMod11 default CPU voltage is higher than the Sony official system, only to be saving by reducing the CPU voltage. But CyanogenMod11 kernel does not support CPU voltage drop, third-party kernel "MEOW-kernel.v1.12.17-kitkat" currently does not support the CPU voltage drop. To power saving can only wait "MEOW-kernel" support a voltage drop.

Use the Snapdragon Battery Guru app. It's specially designed for Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm. It's does a pretty similar job to what Stamina Mode does.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upendeshmukh:
Greetings,

Unable to find the flashable update zip file from stock recovery 3e which exists on my sdcard.

I need to install CWM recovery and flash cocore kernel and root. I did this earlier countless times. :cowboy:

I am on stock XXLQL 4.1.2 Italy FW. Just FYI, a couple of days back I had flashed HarshJelly 4.

Below are the options in stock recovery <3e> -

1. reboot system now

2. apply update from ADB

3. apply update from external storage

4. wipe data/factory reset

5. wipe cache partition

6. apply update from cache

When I select 3rd option, I cannot see the update.zip or any other file which is in my sdcard (internal storage). I just see below –

Choose a package to install:

/sdcard

../

Added information is, when I go to root of the phone with Solid explorer, I can see below relevant directories –

sdcard <this is a symlink for /storage/sdcard0>

storage <inside this there is sdcard0 dir>

Inside storage there is sdcard0. And when I access the same directory by either ways (clicked symlink OR went is storage/sdcard0), I could see all my flashable files over there.

I already read something about this being related to 4.2 JB version. However, did not find any confirmed resolution or workaround on any forum.

I have already tried -

1) formatting of internal storage (sdcard0) and external storage (memory card) from phone settings -> storage -> Format USB storage AND Format SD card.

2) That didn’t work hence, I tried formatting my ext card (referred some XDA link) from PC with all - FAT32, NTFS and something like ext.... Still no luck.

3) Downloading zip files again to ensure they are not currupted.

Please note that I can copy data to both storages, hence I think my storage doesn’t look like corrupted. :rolleyes:

It will be a great help if you can guide me to resolve this issue. :fingers-crossed:

I have already kept the update.zip in both internal and external sdcards (/storage/extSdCard/ and /storage/sdcard0/). Missed to mention that.

However, could you please confirm on this as the symlink /sdcard in the root is for /storage/sdcard0 which is internal sdcard.

Since this features the exact same hardware but different radio, will most or all ROM's work for it? Thinking about selling my Z1 for this since my service provider is T-Mobile.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
Uh yeah I did. If you haven't searched yet, the Z1s is THE EXACT SAME as the Z1 but with T-Mo's radio. They released the Z1 with 32GB internal and named it Z1s For T-Mobile. Do some research and correct me if I'm wrong before you start being rude to me or anyone here on XDA.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKnux:
Sorry, I wasn't trying to sound dickish, it's just I'm trying to get an answer that way I know which route to go. I use folder mount already so internal isn't an issue and I have the LTE version which already supports T-Mobile's bands. I was looking into getting the compact just because I always thought 4.3" was the perfect screen size. Although, I hate to say it, but I'm thinking about selling my Z1 to get the One+ since it's "reportedly" gonna have the Snapdragon 805 CPU, NFC, and finally an SD card slot (which I desperately need). I do love the waterproofness though. For a 5" phone, the Z1 is bigger than any 5" phone I've held or used. Opinion?

Sent from my Beast from the East
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You right, I saw a HTC One Max at the same price of the Z1 and it's make my mind to jump to HTC.

I do not know it's comming out HTC One soon whit this features, do you have a link? I love my Z1 but if HTC One come out with the same features as Sony Z1, without waterpeoofness only, I will think about it too.

I always had HTC and the developing section no matter what is huge all the time so easely we will have Data on SD and Apps on Internal Storage for sure and more.

I hope the Sony developing section will grow up and made some really important improvement.

So at the moment I don't know what to think, the decision have to be final because any 6 mounts some new device appear on the market.

I keep mine Z1 until the right HTC do not come out and I will think what to do.

If I see we have 2 amazing devices but with HTC I will have all what I need with the developing section too probably I will jump to HTC too.

Another question...

Should I stick with the Z1 or downgrade to the Z1 Compact? I have a strong preference for 4.3" screen sizes for some reason. Anyone agree or disagree?

Sent from my Beast from the East
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
It's not a big downgrade because the Compact have all what Z1 has, what is missed its 1080p and 5 inch screen only so I think you should choice the device for the purpose which you will do with it. I love the Z1 and the 5" screen do not bother me at all. Bigger screen probably will do. I hope just the Z1 Compact will be fully working phone, not like some Z1 with some touch screen issues or something else.

My z1.touch.doesn't work.under water and when i get it.out of water is doesn't work for.almost a minute

Does it have anything related with water temperature... Because it is really cold in Egypt nowadays :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
The touch screen simply can't work underwater, it's just the physics of how it works. Also when it's wet it can work improperly as well. I've found though that when it's wet, if you turn the screen off then on again, it seems to remember where all the water drops are and learns to ignore them, meaning it will work quite well despite the water.

And I'm sorry, but it is not and nor has it ever been cold in Egypt :p. It's negative 23 C where I am from right now. That is cold

Is this even an issue, considering it has a physical hardware button ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I don't think so. Mine under water, 2cm under clean water in a glass, do not working either. No signal, no touch screen, nothing. Probably it's meant to be like that, a kind of safety.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
It is a capacitive touch screen, which means that it senses your finger because it has a different conductivity than the air around it. So does water, so the water is detected across the entire touch screen and prevents the screen from differentiating your finger and all of the water.

Based on [MENTION=4596319]301stSpartan[/MENTION]'s post it sounds like the touch screen has some capability to ignore inputs it thinks are invalid. I tested this a little bit and it seems to be true:

1) Lock the phone, turning the screen off.

2) Use your thumb to cover a large area of the screen.

3) Turn the screen back on, remove your thumb and quickly try to swipe where you placed your thumb. For about 0.5s, the screen will not respond to your finger. After that, it will work normally.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
[MENTION=4488414]xasbo[/MENTION], that why I said is not an issue. Even if there is some trick to make it work the touch screen I don't even try and is not the touch screen dead only under water, the signal too. We can just make pictures because maybe this is his reason.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Sure, I was just pointing out it's not a safety thing - there's no risk of electrocution or anything like that.

in old models we used to do the following

change the csc first by some apps, then check the update via ota or kies to find out if the mobile become Italian csc or not

in some models u can inter a code via mobile to enter the csc list and choose the Italian csc, but be aware that it will format the mobile

or the easiest way is to flash the Italian F. W and download any future updates rom and flash it

Hi there, since yesterday was my birthday, I decided to get a QX-10 as a gift: I was perplexed at first, but now that Sony decided to give us a proper case/adapter, I went for it.

But, the only news I can find is the one saying that it was announced.

Has anybody any guess on when it will be available?

Supposedly end of Jan but don't quote me on it. Only announced for Hong Kong so will have to be an ebay jobbie.

Little update: sick of waiting on Sony to give us a proper release date (they never do), I decided to get my just replaced case, the original clip and some adhesive strips i had lying around.

I simply attached two of them on the clip, attached the clip onto the case, and that's it, solved once and for all.

Every single strip can hold up to 2 kilograms, so I think 4 kilos will be enough for the lens... :)

And as a bonus they are detachable (you have to rotate applying a certain amount of force, or better yet going under it with a sharp object or a credit card etc), so they won't ruin the original clip.

Now when a colleague or a friend asks to try it I'll reply... go get yourself one, you cheap bastard! :D
