[MENTION=4636703]chillsen[/MENTION] Hey OP, after I read your 1st psot I figured id give it a shot. I've had bad experiences with her cases and the one that you posted a pic of, is the same one I got as well. I got it 3 days ago, and still haven't put it on, in fear it will scratch the outer bezel while putting it on, and taking it off

Have on had this issue at all? Seems like a real snug fit, thought if ask before I pushed my hone into the car lol.... Thanks bud!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] chillsen:
i can only say i've had to take the case off and on many times to show off to my friends how thin the actual phone is. i mastered how to take it off by pressing outwards the top left corner. you push it out enough so you can fit a finger through and i just slide it down the side and the whole case pops off. this is the easiest way i found. at first i had a problem because i didn't try a corner but started from the middle of the long side. but to answer your question, no scratches.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] BLuFeNiX:
I'm 100% sure they are fake. Look at the feedback page, it's full of "Excellent!" and "good quality" multiple times by the same few user accounts.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cliff Clavin:
How's everybody doing?

I'm looking to order an unlocked Z1 Compact either tonight or tomorrow and am wondering the best and most reliable sites to purchase from?

Also, I imagine I lose the Sony warranty with an unlocked Compact because it's not available in the US market right?

Is it a wise idea to buy a SquareSoft 2 year warranty from Ebay or Amazon? I've been trying to research them and am getting mixed results including a lot of complaints of them scamming and semi-scamming on claim attempts, but often the bad reviews and experiences are the loudest and most glaring.

Anybody have experience with any of the following re-sellers?

Negri Electronics

Wireless Everything(through Amazon)

Cells4U

Techno Trading House(through Ebay)

Never-MSRP(through Ebay)

Open to other suggestions of well of course, but I really need to get this in by say Monday, so not looking for any super long wait international shippers unless the price and reliability of the seller was superb, but even then any issues probably mean international return shipping on my dime so I'm a little sketchy on those options.

Sony won't sell them direct to US customers... :eek:

Thanks in advance guys, really excited to get this phone!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesararv:
Expansys USA

Hands down the best site for us customers ...

I got 4 phones from them and all came in sealed

Box all accessories and US wall adapter....

I got mine from Amazon.com, seller My-Wish-List. No complaints. Not sure on warranty but I wouldn't expect much from Sony even if bought legitimately. I was counting on Amazon.com to back me up if the phone was DOA.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlatan01:
No doubt, hands down the best I've purchased from is Clove. I have purchased two phones from them, the first needed some repair, and they were very good about facilitating the process and getting it back to me. No need to look elsewhere.

Hi, here in Singapore,it actually sells for about 500USD so i would consider it a good bargain.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cliff Clavin:
Thanks everybody. I ordered the phone about a half hour ago from Amazon, went with Wireless Everything.

Ordered a case, some tempered glass screen protectors and a cheap rubber case.

Think I might wind up with a Devil Case once they drop them for the Compact if it will fit over the screen protector.

Really excited to get this, I'm coming from a REALLY old phone that had died and came back to life so many times it was basically a zombie.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camaro322hp:
Good luck. You're going to love this phone. I have nothing but good to say about it. (except I see it's about $20 less now than when I ordered it)

What carrier are you on? I'm on T-Mobile and both H+ and LTE work perfectly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cliff Clavin:
I am also on T-Mobile. Been using a HTC G2 that was almost 4 years old before it perma-bricked about 2 weeks ago and have been using a BB Bold borrowed from a friend since then while I've been deciding what phone to go with and from where.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotth324:
I ordered from Expansys Canada but the phone shipped out the States. When it came the box had been opened and a charger adaptor was included. Maybe should have gone through Amazon. Phone is working well but had to manually put the Rogers Canada APN in. Great phone though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camaro322hp:
For what it's worth I contacted USA xperia support and asked them about this. They said that it doesn't matter if the unit is not available to purchase in USA, and that I have a 1 year warranty on my phone that would be honored in a sony usa service center. I have my doubts about the quality of the service but it sounds like at least we're not stuck with no warranty at all.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamenramen:
I have my Z1 compact in for repair at Sony, and they don't sell it in my country.

Sony said that they would repair it, but no guarantees on the turnaround time. It's usually 14 days. business days.

That's for phones that they repair all the time. They said that they may have to send the phone out to a diff repair center in another country.

I got a lemon where the Z1 would sometimes detected my sim, and sometimes not. Faulty sim card contacts in the phone or something like that.I'm chalking it up to bad luck.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breaker12:
I have a Galaxy S4 i9506 model SHV E300S from SK Telecom (Korea). I can't update it via OTA as I'm currently in the Philippines and don't have a SKT Sim which is required. Kies is also not pushing any updates for me. So I searched the web and saw a firmware here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SHV-E300S

My question is how to install this firmware to my phone? I only have Philz recovery installed but my phone is not rooted as I don't know why the guides aren't working for me. I also have another problem, as I can't boot to download mode since I have a Philz recovery installed. Please help me as 4.3 is really and eats up the battery of my phone. Thank you very much!

I have been using ISH InClose Mobile for a month or so now. It seems to work ok, but a lot of the times it leaves apps open- calandar, messages, etc. Not all the time, just sometimes. So I end up having to do a close all and then all is good. Wondering if anyone has found a better "close" app, thats all I want, I know it is built into some other apps, but I just want something small, lightweight and integrated, I don't want a bloated program just to get the close features.

I couldn't find a US cellular section. I have a Us cellular G s3 that was just rooted no custom rom or anything. I put awrp on it and that it. Its on 4.3, on SUnday I flashed a hacked hotspot file from sprint by mistake. On the stock ROM it get to the last samsung screen then stops. I couldn't figure it out. I put a custom ROM on and it always says roaming and can't do anything. so I dial *228 and it says welcome to Cricket so somehow it thinks its on Cricket. How can i get it back to US cellular? I have tried odin back to stock but no go. anything with a stock ROM it stops at the last samsung screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
You are indeed at the wrong forum as this forum is for the i747U/M variants only. To try to assist you, however, you appear to have a brick caused by flashing the wrong ROM. Thankfully, it's only a soft brick and not a hard one so recovery should be possible. As you were already on 4.3, you would need to flash a complete 4.3 stock image compatible with your phone model. If my knowledge serves me right, the correct build number should be R530UVXUBMJA. You may go to sammobile.com or androidfilehost.com to search for the full downloadable zip and then flash that via custom recovery which you already have. Odin won't help you, I'm afraid, as 4.3 is not flash-able via Odin and if you are trying Odin, you are probably trying to flash an older bootloader which may just compound the problem. Hope this helps you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] qkpony:

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Potis20:
UPDATE:

I managed to fix it by first running the ACDU fix and then installing the European RUU over it! It even updates now!! :)

ACDU.exe (click the button on the right to download)

Released RUUs for HTC 8X (make sure to get one that corresponds to your device!)

KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME AND MY SECURITY UNLOCKED DEVICE,

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK FOR YOU

IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, IT'S ON YOU.
​

Steps:

Put your device in the bootloader screen by powering it off, and then turning it back on while holding the vol up + vol down buttons simultaneously.

Connect the device to your computer and let Windows locate and install the driver needed. Wait until the driver is fully installed and/or you can see the word USB written on the bootloader screen.

Run the ACDU.exe file and let it do its job (This supposedly unbrands your phone!). It should restart a couple of times showing a green screen and then eventually go into the bootloader menu. It might say something like "UEFI for Key Provision ONLY" in red letters, ignore that.

Run the RUU you've downloaded and if everything goes as planned it should flash correctly. If not, make sure you've downloaded the correct RUU for your device and that it's not corrupted.

Enjoy your (unbricked and) updatable security unlocked device.

I hope this helps!! :)

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Potis20:
Well, after updating to GDR3, it seems that the bootloader messages have changed.

As of right now, it says

Security Unlocked

PM2320001 P S WP8 I (Before flashing ACDU, I think it used to be only "PM230001")

SBL1-1.0.21009.0

SBL2-1.0.21009.0

SBL3-1.0.21009.0

RPM-1.1.03078.0

TZ-303.000.241

UEFI-0.0.3030.0(175731) (Before updating, it used to be something like "15****", where * = numbers)

OS-4.12.401.01 (Before updating, it used to be 2.00.401.03)

CID-11111111

Radio-1.20b-32-19.04_15.67b.32.19 (Before flashing/updating, it used to be something like "1.11b.32.19.23")

Ah, that's unfortunate. I don't know of a way to bypass the version check. =/ I don't understand why they're making things so difficult for end users. If you're flashing a full ROM, then you don't care what the previous one was... The only thing I can think of is that maybe on each update they blow a fuse so that you can't go back, like on the Xbox360

How would I go around doing that?
