one hand use is my wish
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksideauto:
I have always had the latest and greatest. The constant upgrades always seemed to involve a step up in screen size. I just sold my lg g2 and my backup device(nexus 4) to buy this phone. It has all the same specs as the g2 but the screen and battery size. I love that I can use this phone one handed. I love the quality materials. Also I am from the USA now living in Sweden. Sony is very poorly marketed in the states and I was not able to get my hands on many of the devices I wanted. So here in Sweden when I heard about the z1c I knew I had to have one. The screen size drop will take time but I can not tell the difference in PPI.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
Got an ipad, and a kindle fire. Don't need a huge screen phone, this size is perfect.

Saying that I was just about to buy a Z1 when the store said they had the compact in stock that day. So I got that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Which apps do you notice the size drop most with ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksideauto:
Well, when you switch from 5.2" to 4.3" you notice it in everything. What is nice is that the PPI is still high so I just hold the z1c an inch or so closer to my face when I am watching videos or reading articles. It is so nice being able to use one hand and reach across the whole screen.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Why did you sell the g2 ?

I can see the exclusive factor the Z1c holds for you but what else was enough to part with the g2 & n4 (which is older now).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksideauto:
I like the water resistant feature. I was always hiding all my devices from my 1 year old son. I actually never use my devices in the same room. I was allowed freetime by my wife to play with my things. Haha. With the z1c or any of the z series I do not have to fear drool and spit and sneezes and bottles thrown at me and my devices. It rains and snows a lot in iowa, USA and Gothenburg, Sweden so I can use it outside without fear of rain or drops in the snow. The clothes styling in Sweden is a bit different than I am used to. I can only find form fitting pants in my size. I have too much junk in my trunk. So pulling a g2 out of my pocket front or rear was a chore. Any movement made the g2 creak and groan. I was starting to develop joint pain in my left hand trying to grip such a large device. When I am laying on my back it was hard to grip the device for long periods of time. The g2 was awesome. But in the long term it was a cumbersome item.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
From what i sense here, the Z1c is a niche product that specialises in portability. People who say they don't need a bigger screen have something else to do x or y. And that something else isn't too far away or long in coming when necessary.

But the Z1 isn't exactly unwieldy, its portable too. The Z1 is a compromise between 4.3" and bigger than 5" up to 7 inch screens. If you don't have a 6-7 inch screen then a 5 incher does both. That's its selling point, it pretends to do more than a 4.3 and saves you needing up to 7". Well, that's the draw, once you realise that a 7 inch is good enough for reading if it isn't A4 or that its light enough to play games then it becomes more desirable to own in addition to a 5 incher. I've found it quite challenging to figure out what a particular size screen is best suited for and associated ergonomics.

Do people play much games on a 4.3" ? why bother if you have a 7". if you were pressed you might but not really. Whereas a 5 incher would be slightly better for games.

What size screen you are drawn to in some ways is a reflection of what you have or don't. What it adds to or substitutes for.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksideauto:
I have a 7" and 10" tablet as well as a chromebook, macbook, and full size desktop. They all serve their own purpose and I was finding that after moving to Sweden I was spending more time outside and using my primary phone less. Also the USA model G2 doesn't get Sweden lte bands. I needed a more portable compatible device without compromising hardware. Could have purchased an iPhone but I am locked into the Google ecosystem and I enjoy the root/ROM aspects of android.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stony-D:
i had the z1 for 2 months its a awesome phone but it was a little bit too big so i changed to the better one ;)

the XZ1c <3
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr_Know:
I used my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo for about 2 or 3 years now and it is not working that well anymore. Sometimes the touch doesn't work (I have to turn the screen about 10 times off and on to get it working), meanwhile the vibration stopped working, too.

I decided for the Z1C, because I don't like to carry a phone in my pocket which can be used as a weapon becauso of its size. I've looked for about 4 weeks to find a good phone that is not that big, but has awesome features when I stumbled upon the Z1C. Waterproof, good CPU, much RAM, etc.

Got it about 3 days ago and I love it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngoyag:
I'm with you on that, any phone 5" and up is unwieldy. I have a xperia zr 4.55" and it still a little big for me. Too bad z1 compact isn't available here yet. 4.3" is the way to go.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phukkitt:
I didn't pick Z1c over the Z1, as the Z1 was never an option for me since it has a 5" screen. I remember when the ZR came out I tried holding one in a store but even that felt too big for one handed use.

I don't think I'll ever want to go higher than 4.3", though maybe a 4.5" could feel just as good if it doesn't have Sony's large waste of space around the screen.

Back when the Desire HD came out one of my colleagues got it and I just thought it was huuuuge and couldn't understand why anyone would want such a big phone, so top-hardware phones all being 5"+ has been an issue for me. Z1c is as good as it gets right now.

Also, I like that it's 720p instead of 1080p as that saves battery life and icreases performance in games, and I can't really tell the difference in PPI unless I hold the phone up to my nose.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bossk128:
Out of interest, what other handsets did you consider other than the Xperia Z1 Compact?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phukkitt:
Well, since my Xperia Play felt more and more like it was getting worse, I was about to give up and just get a bigger device. First I was looking at the ZR but the hardware just felt a little to much on the old side for the price, especially considering the N4 had almost the same hw for a much lower price. After that I felt that maybe the HTC One was the way to go, since if I was going with a 2-hand phone anyways I might aswell get one with a really nice build quality and decent hardware, but I also looked at the LG G2 beause of the similar size but better hw and price, but I decided against it since I just dislike LG too much.

As rumors started going about the Z1f coming to europe I chose to wait it out and hope for a release around the new year, and it turns out I made the right choice. :)

I do wish it had smaller body though, but I guess we can't have everything we want.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bossk128:
Ah, same: all good flagship phones but none in the same size bracket as the XZ1C. I just wondered as I haven't bought one yet and wondered if there were any similar size/spec as competitior. I guess the iPhone is the only thing similar.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phukkitt:
Hopefully the Z1c will be a big seller and a success, then maybe more manufacturers might see the need to fill that space in their lineup.

Sharp is already on it with their Aquos Mini SHL24 which looks like a nice phone aswell, being 4.5" 1080p with very thin edges, waterproof, SD800 etc, very much a competitor to the Z1f in Japan i guess.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nos0x:
I came from an iPhone to an Xperia Z, and found it too uncomfortable for one handed use. The Z1 compact ticks all the boxes for me, IPS display with high PPI, top end specs, battery life to match my iPhone and most importantly the size to match it too for easy one handed use!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksideauto:
Say whaaaaaa!!! Congrats on the transition. If this is your first time away from iPhone that is. I have ventured over to iphones many times between androids because the form factor and battery life.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilpang:
The reason why I chose the Z1C was due to waiting for a flagship style phone that wasn't too big and didn't skimp on specs.

I moved from a HTC One S and this was a perfect step up...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naiiko:
so nice

Hi everyone,

I just bought this phone because my Z was too large and big. I'm really happy with the form factor. it's the right size for me and the perf are really good.

I just need screen and back protections and it will be perfect. I recommend it to everyone who needs a small but powerful phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BCH/HTC:
Too all new users of the Z1c, let me know your take on the overall build of the device after you have it for a couple weeks. I too want this device, but it appears that waiting a a few months might be beneficial to rectify some HW or SW bugs.

I have an HTC ONE...love it. But, I wanted a high-end HW device in this size range. I might get an unlocked Docomo Z1f version via Ebay.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksideauto:
I'd say this is my highest quality device yet. I have had a lot of flagship devices and a few oddballs in between. Aside from the iPhone, which I feel is on the same level, I have never been so happy with the look and feel of a device as I am the z1c. This is all my personal opinion.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikken:
I have both the Z1 and the Compact and as much as I love my Z1, the Compact is my new fav. Great screen, camera and battery life and so perfectly sized for one hand usage :good: The best in its class ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven1145:
I come from a Motorola Droid RAZR, and was hunting for ages for a new phone. I was on the brink of buying a Nexus 4, and then a Nexus 5 but their lack of sd card support and the size of the N5 put me off. I was very excited when I heard of the Z1f, but disappointed that it wasn't headed to Europe. So I kept checking on news for a European release and tadaaaaa!

Now I'm the happy owner of this great Z1c. Very happy with the power and form factor.

2014 Z1 Compact = 2011 Xperia Arc S

Weirdly I just picked up my 5th straight Sony phone over 12 years. Not because I love Sony, but because they've always seemed to be the best fit for my situation.

2002 - P800

2006 - W810

2008 - C905

2011 - Xperia Arc S

2014 - Z1 Compact

I've really beaten my Arc S, overclocking its guts for 2 years now to keep it running the newer apps and I've refused to upgrade to the 5 inch monsters due to having small hands. I was really tempted by the, Nexus 4, Z and then by the Z1 but kept composure, refusing to buy something that I can't use one--handed. All the specs in the world cannot make up for one-handed usage for me.

The Z1c allowed me the finally get the specs I wanted in the size that I love, being almost identical to the Arc S in size.

Perhaps this shall be yet another 3 year endeavor? With its durability I don't see why not :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert98:
I want to buy it if I'll find it at ~300-320€ in June or July, I'm deeply in love with it for many reasons:

-SPECS

Well, it's the only "mini" phone that keeps the specs of the normal version, and I think I'll keep it for like 3-4 years, it'll never get outdated

-SIZE

I have a Nexus 7, so buying a 5"phone would make it useless. Plus, I'm used to my 3.5" XU, and I think 4.3" is the best size, also seeing my friend's Xperia V

-HARDWARE

It's just gorgeous. Plus, it's waterproof and has a great camera.

As I said, I hope to find it for about 320€ in 4-5 months, because that's my extreme budget.

I hope I'll be part of this community soon :D

I never considered Z1 after seein it in person. The display on Z1 was simply not on par with other flagship phones already out there. So never really considered it. I have no issues with big phones if you look at my history.

But then comes Z1. Great spec but this time a great screen as well. And I got cracking deal on it. Around $480 or so. Could not pass on the opportunity to grab it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peze2415:
The Normal Price ;)

haha, nice to see :)

Normal price in USD is 500, so... u saved 20 bucks :D ^^

I just bought the phone 2 days ago for 415 euros and I am so excited! :)

I chose it, because of the screen size. Its like an iphone. Small and powerful. But with Android. :)

Hope there will be a root option without disabling the Bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
Where have you seen this phone for $500? In UK it is £332 without vat and 400 all inclusive. So it is $550 without taxes.

Here it is selling for about $565. But there was promotion on eBay India that was offering flat 12% discount on some items for 1 day. That coupled with deal of the day meant I saved significant money compared to local Indian price. :p

That is primarily why I got this.

From my Xperia Z1 Compact, in your face!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peze2415:
you know what? t seems like, I have been wrong :P In my first post in this community ^^Yee, Noob Power :D

I don't know where I red it, but I thought they're selling it about 500 USD in America...

Basically its for the most phones that they have 1:1 prices (like 480$ = 480€). I was so sure. But I looked again and yes, u are right. Even on amazon.com the phone is about 560-580 USD. So congrats for your good Deal, and congrats for my good deal :D ^^

Can you tell me, if you have also the camera problem when you use the flash light?

And wich color do you have? I bought a white one. :)

Z2 is too big :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
My reasons:

Size: While I don't mind big screens, I already have a tablet, and I need a phone that doesn't stick out of my pockets.

Specs: The internals good as or better than almost all phones that were ever released, plus the fact that it is waterproof.

Reviews: Pretty much all reviews I read praise it, and I have a thing for Sony products.

Price: My carrier has it on sale with the magnetic charging dock included. Renewed my contract and got it for almost nothing.

these roms are very good, faster and smoother, but I cannot play any video (avi or mkv) or launch any THD application.

I tried:

DICE player to play some avi, but I have a force closed when I start the video

Sonic 4 THD and I have a force closed when I start the game

Splashtop THD and I have a force closed when I start the app

these application worked in a perfect way using STOCK rom.

Is it my fault?

Do I need to install some other package?

Hi,

I have the Galaxy Player 4.0 YP-G1

I followed the description on this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386992

But unfortunatly, after flash, my efs directory was empty (only "lost+found" directory inside)

I search in the forum and find that it was better to flash from 2.3.6 to CM9 and after CM10.2, so too late for me !!

I found also that I should simply copy my backup of efs directory to /efs so I do this :

adb shell

su

umount /efs

mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

cd /sdcard/backup/efs

cp -r * /efs

dd if=/sdcard/backup/efs.rfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

mount -o remount,ro rootfs /

The files were successfully copied but when I reboot, the directory /efs was again empty !!!

Of course, I make some backup :

Nandroid backup of my 2.3.6 before flash to CM10.2

backup of efs directory in /sdcard/backup/efs/ (automatically when I flash CM10.2)

backup of efs directory in a file efs.rfs (when I was on 2.3.6)

What do you recommand me to recover my efs directory ?

Restore my nandroid backup 2.3.6

Re-flash to 2.3.6 with Odin according to this thread (is my efs directory will be regenerated ?):

Mfax is for PocketPC 2003. I asked them when they may make it available for WM5 and got the following reply;

"Right now we do not know if and when we will be able to support Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phones with our software.

The problem is that the modem i.e. network manufacturer (Qualcomm with their CDMA network) is not supporting fax class 1 or 2 in their system. Therefore we are not able to support the WM 5.0 Pocket PC Phones (or the CDMA based WM 2003 Pocket PC Phones). Furthermore HTC is - due to the lack of support from Qualcomm - not able to support us either.

So we are stuck in the middle. As long as Qualcomm doesn't set a higher

priority to the fax class support within their network (modem) we can do

nothing about this issue.

As soon as they would change this issue we would immediately be able to

support WM 5.0 Pocket PC Phones as well as CDMA phones using their network.

Frankly, I do not think that this issue will be solved soon. Faxing is still

seen as not important by the big companies (which I certainly do not agree, but we do not have a lobby or a direct contact person at Qualcomm, who has the power to change this)."

Maybe we should start lobbying Qualcomm.
