Sony Z1 Compact case + screenprotector

Hi guys,

Been looking at the Z1 Compact for a week now as I'm pretty sure that's going to be my new phone as my contract expires in April, and I doubt the S5,Htc M8 or Sony Z2 will be very pocket friendly. If my HTC ONE X would be a fraction smaller, 4,5 or 4,6" it would be great for one handed use.

So I've been having a look around for tempered glass/sapphire screen protectors and cases for the Z1 Compact , and apart from the ones posted on this forum didn't find anything interesting so i've decided to actually reach out to companies(through mail, fb or twitter) and ask if they were going to make any for the Z1 compact.

Spigen: no reply

brandoworkshop: no reply

xgear : no reply

Otterbox: no plans for a Defender series at the moment (if people request it enough on their fb page they might speed it up).

iloome: nothing planned for the moment

Zagg: really funny situation with these guys. Bought a Zagg Invisible shield for my current HTC One X, and was so happy with it and the lifetime warranty that i recommended it to my ex and everybody I knew. Sent them a question on fb, waited for a day....no reply.

Then I receive a notification that a polish bloke from a company called 3MK Screen protectors replied on my post on Zagg's page, recommending their products (which btw look pretty nice).

Lo and behold, 2 hours later zagg reply as well saying they have a screen protector in the works and that they're going to pass my inquiry about an Arsenal Case for the Compact to their design team. I think if people show an interest on their fb page, we might get something out of it.

At this point I think that if enough interest is shown to Zagg and Otterbox they might come up with great solutions for cases.

I've put a request to "Rhino Shield" and they will look into it (If the demand is high they likely come out quicker). They are not bad according to review and price are reasonable compare to other product which has the similar specification. Pls put a request to their email/ FB/ Twitter if you like this on your Z1 Compact.

I've ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IA1AVZA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if anyone else is looking for clear protectors for the back.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] alexxus87:
Had a look at their product, and looks promising, even though I was thinking about getting Tempered Glass (don't know why I have the feeling I'd manage to shatter it within the first month as I drop my phone face down from time to time, from about 60-70 cm height).

Asked on FB if they plan on making any for the Z1 compact and said it depends on demand, so if anybody is interested, let them know.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] nizarnoor:
I tweeted Rhino Shield and got this response from them:

"we think we would, it might be ready in few weeks time"

I got a note 2 thats showing no phone info at all and doenst seem to have a modem. Its on android 4.1.2

When I flash stock odin 4.1.2 it fails at flashing the modem. ALSO I CANT root first cause my phone is not recognized at all when its booted into android. Not in device manger or anything. But does work in download mode

PICS BELOW SHOWING MY PROBLEMS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Did you unlock it again? I'm guessing since you said you can't root means that you didn't use the stock image that was already rooted. Just had this same issue with a friend, flashed back to stock w/root, factory reset everything, and it worked. Then backed up everything and went to a new rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
No I didnt unlock. Im uploading pics to show my problem.

My phone is not detected at all when plugged up to pc its just charged so no adb or rooting commands.

I used CASUAL but when it tries to push the PIT file it fails. Odin also fails when trying to use the PIT file and when it comes to flashing the modem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
You made sure to put it in to debugging mode too, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
Of course, thats simple.

Phone isnt recognized at all when plugged to pc.

Not in mtp, ptp, or adb. Nothing at all except indication that its in a power source.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Are you using the right version of casual for your fw?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
you're not understanding me. dont matter my causal version i cant use casual because my phone is not recognized thru ADB

only thing its recognized thru is download mode. my pc shows NOTHING is plugged when my phone is on android and plugged up to the pc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
You said you used casual and when it tried to push the pit it failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncwildcat:
Check your drivers or try another PC
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
I have a version of causal that does work on 4.1.2 and also allows u to start the command from download mode so thats how I was able to try casual.

Yes im 100% I have all drivers correct
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nikhil.kdhand:
hi,

ideally, Nand Erase All option is not to be selected in Odin which you selected....this option has unexpected problem like the one you encountered and hence this is the cause of your handset issue of Banseband & IMEI unknown. Please avoid this option in future.

Thanks,

I tried it without also. Same result. Ive tried flashing all android versions 4.1.2, which is the one i got the phone with and yes it was in this condition. Ive also tried 4.1.1 and 4.3. All stop at modem but one stopped at tz.img
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
ive tried flashing modems by themselves but the fail. the phone will not take a modem

and i also get no connection to the pc when booted into android

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Killer Turtle:
Have you tried a different cable, for some reason it seems this phone is picky on what cables and even what USB port it wants to work on. Don't use a USB 3.0 port use a US 2.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
Yep tried that also . And ok a different pc. Neither detected the phone in any type of way in android
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kennii:
any other ideas?

Not Showing imei, serial, baseband...

My Note 2 was running CM 11 01.16.14 with the latest Devil Kernel, GApps, and Philz touch recovery. I updated its firmware using Odin and Beans image - found here. I did that process over a month ago, and everything was working well. A few weeks ago I reflashed the Modem because I was having battery/wake lock issues. That file is found here. Over all, they did not fix my issue. I ran them no problem, but found myself dropping to 3g when I would normally have LTE. Today I decided to odin the beans firmware again, just as I had before (using 3.07, pda, etc). When I booted my phone, my baseband was unknown, my IMEI was unknown, and I had no service. I did the normal troubleshooting (airplane mode, reboot, etc) but got no results. I decided that I may have damaged my efs folder and tried to restore it using a backup, but could not get the program to initialize the ADB server (though I was getting the notification on my phone that it was granted SU permissions). I performed a factory reset but no luck. I then restored from a nandroid (samsung based rom), but again, no luck. I tried to restore the EFS on that rom, but got the same ADB issue. My next step was to install the beans stock rom (link above) to see if that would correct my issue, however, I received an error: "Expects args 4, got 2. (Issue 7)". I checked the MD5 sum and everything was correct. I could have forced install but chose not to.

Any ideas on what to do next? I was debating on whether to force install the rom or to flash a full firmware .zip instead of using odin. I have opened my EFS folder and everything seems to be intact/ in order. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Try to odin back to stock, reactivate phone, hopefully that fixes the IMEI. Flash new rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrewBot:
What should I use to Odin back to stock? I was running the latest firmware and couldn't find something that wouldn't lock my bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
There is a guide by imnuts I think? or droidstyle, I forget. this happened to me not too long ago where i lost my IMEI. It can happen in CM and that is pretty much the fix, flash some roms until it comes back.

You can try a factory reset, but I had no luck with that. So do a nandroid, odin to stock, casual, restore nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrewBot:
So it is alright for me to use the vraljb 4.1.1 image posted by droidstyle even though I was using the vruemj9 4.3 firmware? I never took an update and installed the unlocked firmware using Odin that I mentioned above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Yeah, you'd just have to reodin it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

That is the thread I used and I flashed this one Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1.

It worked fine after the phone activated. It was really weird because on my phone it was working perfectly, got a dropped call, and then suddenly all it said is no mobile network found. I still had data, which was really weird. This happened to me before when I used CM. It is a known issue and people just flash back, get their IMEI, nandroid at that point, and then reflash a new rom or restore an old nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrewBot:
That did not work for me. When my phone reboots after the process, I get the note II screen, but afterwards, the screen is black. I did a factory reset but that didn't help. Restoring a nandroid did not fix my issue. Should I just use the 4.1.2 image? That is the last ota update this phone received.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
The nandroid restore didn't work? That is odd. Yeah, i would just trying to flash a few images to get it back to start-up. Pretty much the process is flash a few roms -> hopefully IMEI pops back up -> restore other rom/flash other rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrewBot:
I haven't tried ROM hopping yet. I was scared to try the 4.1.2 because if it locks my phone and the screen stays black while it boots, I'll be screwed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
?

You should always be able to go back into download mode, reflash in odin, and casual back to unlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrewBot:
All I had to do was Rom hop using Samsung based roms. After the third one everything came back. THANKS
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quest_in:
Status: Stuck on boot image

Solutions tried:

1. Factory reset + custom rom

2. Factory reset + stock rom

3. Full wipe with stock image from google dev.

4. WugFresh Root tool kit - Soft bricked + stuck in bootloop option.

I think that covers most of the solutions out there that I could find. It is always stuck on the boot screen. Left it for hours but it was basically stuck. I've seen other people's issues resolved by doing at least one of the above.

IS there something I'm missing? Any solutions?

Update: Ended up getting a replacement (was under warranty). I tried all possible solutions. The factory setup for 4.2.2 was the only one that would boot. But I did not have IMEI and Baseband. Nothing seemed to work. Not sure what would cause that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhiab:
Did you try this guide here
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quest_in:
Thanks. Yes I tried that right after the recoveries failed to do anything. Its really weird because once the system is stuck at the boot image, the computer after a while tries to communicate over USB but fails. As if the boot animation is just a front and Android is trying to do something to load for the first time. I'm not sure what got corrupted. All this started randomly 4 days after I had flashed a nightly update on Omni.

Update: So i tried to flashing a custom ROM (oh WTH moment) and see if that makes any difference. (CM 11 Nightly from JAN 26). The system actually booted up to the android is upgrading screen this time. Now it is stuck on "Starting Apps" screen. Progress? i'm not sure if the stock was already NOT doing this behind the scene. Is there a reason for it to be stuck here? Is this some sort of indicator?

Sorry to ask such a noob question, but I am having trouble sifting through al my options here. I have rooted a couple phones, early d-incs, and a nook, I am just looking for the most basic root operation for dinc 4glte so that I can access the hotspot feature. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. also I was about to start going through the dirtyRacun s-off but was scared off by the warning about revoking support for windows. I have a linux notebook, is it better to use that OS for rooting, in general? thanks.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
The reason for yanking windows support was due to the flaky nature of the windows drivers, depending on windows version for this phone. Originally, unlimited.io supported Windows XP only, but people kept trying it on Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc. My guess is they got fed up with people ignoring the simple instruction of using Windows XP.

If you're comfortable with Linux, you'll be fine with DirtyRacun. Its quite painless and does not require giving HTC your serial number (buried in the token) to unlock the bootloader. However, make sure you're still on the "proper" software build version (2.17.605.2 or earlier). No telling what will happen if you're on the latest OTA...

He is having a phone with boot loader. So he is definitely no having Samsung. Samsung has only download mode. So Odin will not work.

[MENTION=5586278]leodani[/MENTION] No offence, but your info about fastboot and download modes is wrong.

Fastboot and Odin download mode do not require USB debugging on. But as demkantor says due to locked bootloader, OP cannot use some fast boot commands.

My Xda Exec doesn´t find the sync service on my laptop or desktop bluetooth devices. My old PDAs used to work fine on those computers using activesync3.8, but the new activesync 4.1 has done nothing useful, in fact everything seems worse. Of course the computers find the Xda and I added it to the bluetooth device list, but the relevant com ports don't appear on the connection settings in activesync.

I think the older interface from wm2003 was easier and nicer, and it actually worked!

Has anyone had similar issues and know any solution to this please?

Many thanks, Gonz

Is it the software or the way in which the three primary colors red, green and blue high or low on the screen.

Android is there a way to adjust the screen colors
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
I don't think so... Kindle had issues and never got a utility to adjust it.

I checked my colors against my TV which is calibrated. Factory ROM gives a darn good picture, for such a device. Some overly reds but with proper brightness they are less noticeable. I don't know what setting you have the display on, I set mine for movie and leave it there. Dynamic and Standard is not good for Movies and Pictures. Though if you play games Dynamic may help. Standard is basic for reading and browsing.

Hope that helps
