[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sangasanga:
I have around 85 Qtek 1010 (Wallabys) that I want to upgrade to 2003. Currently running 2002.

Checking with my local Microsoft rep they refuse to provide licenses as they don't want to support it.

Does anyone know a legal way I can get upgrades with licenses?

or do you know if will HTC allow upgrades, or do their 2003 licenses for the 2020 or other devices allow you to load on different devices.

Thanks for your help

Do you think, quad core control in setting has same function as app cpu sleeper?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hwooei:
Nope...your cpu become dual core 1,7
[LG Optimus G Pro] guafawe:
seriously? this option disables the other 2 cores?

i thought it helps in power management.. i mean disables other cores if not needed.. but you still have access to all 4 cores if apps need it..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustbin1_uk:
Hello all,

I've noticed on some apps if they are left playing for a time, such as spotify and Audible, despite the fact the playback is still going, when I press the play\pause button on my headset, nothing happens.

Has the application gone to sleep? or has the phone gone into standby and is not responding or.......?????

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thank you in advance.

Mark

Since there's no dedicated thread for the Z1 Compact I figured I'd start one.

My main question is: Has anyone seen any price predictions?

Will be interesting to see just how similar they are on the inside, I'm guessing very!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vVSolidusVv:
549euro... But it's not sure

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nizarnoor:
It's pretty much the perfect phone IMO - apart from the frame... Something about it makes it look a little bit cheap-ish. I might change my opinion once I hold and try it in my own hands.

Too bad I just bought Z1 a couple of months ago.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vVSolidusVv:
Official price... 499 euro

My new phone :laugh:

499 on preoder means 450 on the web. Perfect size, high end hardware, top quality build, sd card nfc and so on... Unlocked by sony as usual and well known hardware for custom rom

pretty enthusiast, go sony :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ermond012:
I think the Z1 Compact is a great phone. Smaller body, big specs.

But do you think it is a bit of a downgrade if a Z1 will be exchanged to a Z1 Compact due to screen size and battery? Just asking.:D

Should the screen of the Z1 Compact is very good compared than Z1 then that's a bit of sad for Z1 owners but nonetheless Z1 is a great phone and every owner of Z1 knows it right?:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gjole86:
i saw somewhere around the netz that the z1 compact will have actually a bit better battery life than z1 simply coz biggest battery drainer in daily use is the screen.

cant wait for this one to come available, the white one looks so beautiful, i avoided the z1 for the size, and z1 compact is almost the size of my ex-phone .. arc s.

time to move sooon

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eclyptos:
Good one, but too small, battery 2300mha only...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AntiDroid:
It's a smaller display. I think owners won't see a difference.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eclyptos:
..ok..but they should leave 3000mha battery like in Z1, this will be huge difference...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rekoil:
Err... yeah, good luck with that buddy.

+1 for that. 1/4 pixel, about 1/4 battery drain for screen ;)

:D HTC One developer here going to Xperia Z1 Compact!

Finally after years of waiting someone finally decided to make a handyphone again lol! How I wish qwerty phone will be back soon too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] negrobembon:
Sony started a new trend, with the popularity the Z1 compact is getting im pretty sure the other manufacturers WILL start making mini flagships with high end specs, starting with Samsung
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] frankgreimes:
So glad, I've been waiting with buying the S4 Active, I mean awesome one everyone who has it is happy with it, but I need a HANDY not with some multimedia capabilities, not the other way around and 5' just is too big for me.

Thankfully Sony realized, that Mini doesn't need to be lesser it just mean SAME product in a smaller frame and that's essentially what they've done. Would have been nice to have a 1080p but other than that, really no complains great product. Heres hoping - yes I'm hinting at you Samsung - are going to follow suit with the S5 Mini/Compact.

Hopefully this is a trend and we are finally seeing the return to more handylike "Smartphones" and maybe an Androidphone with a QWERTZ keyboard. Let's hope this thing is selling well, so other developers are going to follow.

For such a high quality product 499 isn't too much.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] _katho_:
Ordered it yesterday, it will be an awesome device!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] joelteixeira:
+1 for that, I'm really impressed and glad to see Sony being the first one to realize that not everybody wants a >5" screen. I confess to you guys that after seeing every major brand going with huge screens I was starting to consider switch to iPhone. It's a relief to see the Xperia z1 compact "borning" and now I'm waiting anxiously it start selling in Brazil. Kudos to you Sony, well done.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Option58:
Xperia Z1 can support that large battery because it is large phone. Z1 Compact is smaller phone there is no place for that large battery. But 2300Mah is HUGE (and best) for a phone with 4.3 inch so..no worries here friends. Also since smaller screen and res it will consume less power. The big Xperia Z had this 2300Mah battery capacity!!!

As for a display 1080p to 720p it's nothing. I've seen both Xperia T and Xperia Z. Compared screen res...the same.

Conclusion: It is not a downgrade it's the same only in different sizes. I have a hard time choosing size now. :/

Edit: Oh, and Z1 Compact screen is improved in terms of contrast and viewing angle compared to Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] joelteixeira:
Great to know, I thought that the only change was on size and resolution, could you please explain why contrast and viewing angles was improved?

About the other specs, I agree with you that's it's not a exactly a downgrade since it doesn't seem technically possible to fit a bigger battery or a 1080p resolution screen on such a small phone. If you compare with HTC one mini or galaxy s4 mini (both 4.3") have 1.800 and 1.900mAh only.

Okay, I just received my Xperia Z1c and the camera isn't all that. I would honestly say SG4 has better quality camera. Also i compared the speakers with my iPod 5 and yeah iPod 5 sounds much better :/. I might send this back.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] somebloke:
Saw this thread that they were in stock & just managed to get hold of a Black simfree one from CPW, happy days - I was going by Clove's date of mid-feb so thanks to this thread :)

Replacing a 2yr old Xperia T & it's virtually exactly the same size / footprint, but boy does it feel quicker.

Whats the deal with the screen protector - I haven't dared take the film off yet.. I hate applying screen protectors, have I got to do it myself this time?

Going to have to get a charging dock too, but so far love the notification LED and love the vibrator thingy - has anyone else noticed if you press Back on the home screen repeatedly & quickly you can hear it spin up? :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] codified:
It does void the warranty. This was from an staff member on the official Sony support forum:

It's not recommended that you remove the anti-shatter film (ASF).

The purpose of the ASF is to make the display withstand being dropped from greater heights.

The ASF has a positive effect on the sensitivity and accuracy of the touch screen.

In the unlikely event of the glass cracking, the ASF can protect against cuts.

To protect the phone from scratches it's recommended that you put a standard display protector on top of the ASF.

Removing the ASF will void the warranty for the phones display.

It's not possible to replace only the ASF, the entire display needs to be replaced by a service location. You can therefor not buy a new ASF.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] GR36:
I am wondering about the camera. I have a nexus 5 at the moment and the camera is poor.

Thinking about the z1c. Some reviews say good. Some say disappointing.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
sorry to bother you, but can you please tell me (or someone else who bought it in europe) if theres brazilian portuguese (not portuguese from portugal) in the language options ? im planing to buy one in the uk , too, but i usee brazilian portuguese language.

thank you a lot
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Felimenta97:
Yes, there is. Sony, unlike Samsung (at least with Galaxy Y), includes basically all languages in their devices... My Xperia S was bought from France, and it has PT BR. My Xperia Tablet Z is from US, and has PT BR too. Don't worry :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] toxic_garden:
what cam-settings did you use? I made some example shots yesterday and found out that manual mode leads to way better image quality than "intelligent automatic".

But there's one thing that irritates me: most of the reviews said that the Z1C would be able to charge via Qi. But i found nothing about that in Sonys official whitesheet. And as i laid it down on my Qi-Charger yesterday, nothing happened. So was that information wrong or is my Qi-Charger just not compatible? (what would be a real surprise as Qi is quite a standard)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bigmille:
In my experience this is not true, as I had my Z1 replaced last month when the the colour stopped display properly.

I removed the factory screen protector and applied a glass protector, so the Sony logo was missing.

This was with Vodafone in the UK.

The thing I can't stand is the factory screen protector attracts dust in my pocket, so need to wipe the screen almost every time I use it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] shem2409:
Z1C does not have QI charging. It has pogo pins for magnetic charging via the official Sony dock model DK32.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] toxic_garden:
thanks. That's what i thought. It's no big deal for me, as i already ordered the DK32, but it might be irritating for some, as Qi is mentioned in various reviews. I wonder how PrinceInKenya,GadgetShow, Digital Spy and all the others got that wrong?!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] withoutwings:
Received my Z1 Compact (white) yesterday from CPW, and here's my first thoughts on it.

We'll start with the assumption that it is perfect and work back from there. So, everything else being amazing, here are the negative points:

Wifi performance is not so great - it drops out in parts of my house that previous phones have had no problem with.

Screen protector on a screen protector really cheapens the look and feel. Especially when you manage to get as much dust stuck under the top protector as I did! Eventually I will strip it back to glass but don't want to do that straight away.

No magnetic charging cable, adaptor or dock included so I'll have to go and buy one. And despite what some reviews say, no Qi support either which is a shame.

(This one is my fault for being an early adopter) No way to root the device yet unless you don't mind losing the TA partition (and warranty) by unlocking the bootloader. Meaning I can't restore apps using Titanium Backup yet.

Phone is a bit taller than I expected. Side bezels are ok, but top and bottom ones are fairly generous. Still, guess they had to fit all of the Z1's parts in somehow!

Less than impressed with the auto mode on the camera. Need to play around with it some more to get the best out of it.

But overall, WHAT A LITTLE BEAST!! Very fast, very capable device that will only get better with KitKat and beyond - this phone will be a keeper for quite a while!

Also, has anyone else who bought from Carphone Warehouse in the UK tried to get their free movies & music via the Xperia Privilege app? I've tried looking in mine but it says "Currently no promotions are available"

Here's the T&C of the offer, but it doesn't give a start date.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] frankgreimes:
Thank you for that, that's one of my biggest problems with Android why make getting SU rights so complicated ? Seriously, just include a "secret" option and let people decide if they want to get SU or not shouldn't take more than a click. Not being able to use things Xposed or TA is a huge downer.

As specially for someone like me, who will never use the shady cloud services. As for the camera well that just confirms, that a great sensor is as equally important if not more as MP.

How cluttered is the sony UI with bloatware and can you remove things like amazon kindle, google services without root ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] withoutwings:
I had an Xiaomi MI2 before this (before I dropped it anyway), and that had the option right in its menu to allow root. Simple. I agree that all manufacturers should do that.

The Sony UI and apps are actually pretty good/clean/functional so I don't think I'll bother trying to strip it down - not for a while anyway. Certainly nothing like the butt-ugly Samsung UI.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheKingOfPain:
I agree with the SU thing, that way it would be much more comfortable.

I partially disagree with the bloatware statement, since I feel like Sony is the company who goes lightest on adding unnecessary stuff. GApps are there, and they're on every single device that doesn't come with CyanoGen, but can be disabled; almost every other app can be disabled if not completely deleted.

I'm not trying any "brand war", but back in November my best friend (not a techie girl at all) bought a Note 3 and even her noticed that something was wrong with all that stuff installed; long story short, I was with her when she bought it and as soon as we got home I rooted her device and deleted like half a GB of Samsung apps.

I know that Sony could tread gentlier on that matter, but sure as heck some others are worse.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] thermalboyz:
Yeah, agree with the Rooting, Recovery and Unlock Bootloader. It is a bit complication on which one come first. Now there are not yet a method to root without loosing TA Partition when unlocking bootloader.

For me If i have to be very picky it will be the magnetic charging + screen. Why Sony does not include an Micro UBS to Magnetic Adapter so that each time wont need use the Micro USB for charging. I understand it is design for IP57 but to maintain wear & tear I can used magnetic charger instead.

Screen will be brilliant if Sony use Gorilla Glass to increase scratch proof than putting ASF which scratch magnet that won't help much with layers of screens protector + Tempered Glass etc.

I hold on a bit and still using my HTC while preparing backup / migrating stuffs to Z1C. I am sure soon there will be method for rooting + recovery. Nice to hear from other people reviews and experience.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] GR36:
well i took the plunge and picked up a z1c this morning, and i am so glad i did.

great device
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Dr.Paul:
Mine arrived today too. Very nice. Dock is coming tomorrow.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bigmille:
Comparing with Z1, the compact show few minor refinements over its bigger brother.

The ring of headphone jack is more flash with the metal frame, so the edge is not so sharp.

Notification light is much brighter.

The speaker grill is now almost flash with the frame. So it don't have the cheese grater effect when you support the weight of the phone with your little finger.

My main issue is the screen protector picks up dust every time I take the phone out of my pocket?!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] proxuser:
Omg I can use this screen without touch. Glove mode is soooo great.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] joelteixeira:
I was wondering, do you still have your galaxy s4? And if so, do you mind to take some shots on both devices and share for comparison?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] garymontague:
How do you find the screen compared to the z1? I find the screen darker than my z1, may just be the different screens being used. On the tri flat theme the Orange is more redder on the compact than the z1.

Overall loving the phone and the form factor.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Peeveli:
I made best deal ever for Z1 C from Saunalahti (finnish operator) they had put wrong pricing in their website. Normal price 518,20€. Only for black model, 1 year deal 21,60€/ month. So I get mine for half the price it should be. Also ordered one for my wife. All other colours were about 43€/month for one year contract.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bigmille:
Looking at photos side by side, the Z1C seems to have slight more vibrant colours than the Z1. Both have the X reality mode off and at maximum brightness.

I also noticed the tri flat orange home button have a deeper orange colour.

I'm guessing the panel in the Z1C have a slightly wider colour garment.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tobi@s:
Not sure if anyone is interested but this is how the Xperia Z1c size compares to Xperia T:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] GR36:
Clove is your best bet. I have sent a few things to the states and postage isn't much. Phone is only £400 and postage would be about £40 maybe

As for bloat there is minimal. Most can be disabled or removed bar a few bits. But why on earth would you want to remove Google services?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Felimenta97:
It won't be £400 for him. They don't charge you VAT if you're outside UK, and maybe Europe. At least for Brazil it would be £330 + £14 of shipping.

Sadly I can't buy because our customs would make me pay a lot of money to get my device.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] SXUsr:
I already knew I would love this Phone before I got it, and love it even more now I do. The only real gripe so far is the one front screen protector so the protective plastic on the back will remain until I get one for the back. So much more comfortable to hold and operate compared to the 5" Z so I hope Sony continue to lead the way in terms of Compact.

Just need to deodex, debloat and theme to get rid of as much of Sony's UI as possible and I'll love it even more. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] RS050377:
Can anyone post live pictures of the device please?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] frankgreimes:
How is the browsing, pdf and tapatalk experience on this thing

in terms of sharpness, picture quality not just speed ? And for those who have had a full HD device before, is the difference forgetable or huge?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arthur Hucksake:
There is no difference, absolutely none.

Compared to the HTC One , S4 and the Z1 .... I honestly cannot see any difference in the sharpness, clarity or resolution.

720p truly is the sweetspot for a screen this size and I am glad Sony identified that.

It is leaps beyond the screen on the Z1. Beautiful IPS screen. It does remind me of an iPhone screen in some ways.

I am staring at it right up close and you just cannot see imperfection. It is better than the S4's Amoled for sharpness.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tobi@s:
The displays resolution is not FullHD. Compared to the Xperia T (same res but smaller Display (4,3")) the display seems a bit sharper (because of different sizes probably) and colors look much better. No ghosting effect so far.
