[Moto X General] MrSaba:
I see there is one job done from Dev so I hope there maybe is one from them who can make sim unlock for us.

I took my phone to a shop to get the network unlocked, but when I got it back I noticed that in the hidden menu it said bootloader was unlocked

Ive since rooted my phone, but the stock firmware has never been changed

Today I found out that after bootloader unlock, the Bravia engine is lost. After checking, there is a definite difference in the appearance of photos on my phone

Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to get the Bravia engine working again but keep my phone rooted?

I know how to flash firmware and stuff, I don't mind reflashing and wiping my phone id just like to have my phone rooted (keeping stock firmware) and have the Bravia working

Any help would be much appreciated
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] azzazelium:
if you know how to edit build prop you can search it on themes n app section. as far as i know it's only added a few lines on build.prop to get your bravia engine.

Hi! I really like the new camera on my s5 but I can't turn the shutter sound off. I sometimes take pictures in the bus from the outside landscape so its very annoying to have. Is there a way to turn this off without having to root the phone or using a 3th party app?

In camera app, tap settings, you should get all the icons such as picture size, burst shots, etc. It's a 4x4 row of settings. What isn't obvious is that this row will scroll, just scroll down and you'll get another 11 or so options, one of which is the shutter sound.

My T-Mobile-branded S5 (germany) doesn't have it either. It works for me if I mute the whole phone (vibrate or mute) the shutter sound is off too.

If you have root, it shouldn't be a problem to just delete/rename the sound file, but I'm nor rooted (yet), so can't tell for sure.

Hello,

I have downloaded the 8125 ROM from the following link:

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE.exe

I just want to confirm that the way to install is this..right?

1- Unlock CID first

2-Make active sync

3-Execute EXE. file on PC

Plz tell me is the ROM safe, cuz i m using the phone in Pakistan and

if something terrible goes wrong, I will have to wait for 3 months before any of my relatives goes to the States again and gets the phone changed or repaired for me!

Thank u all so much!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] blue_quartz:
Wow with this I think most of our Z1Cs can be heavy utilized and still last three days easily...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bigdfmartin:
I went and ordered one. I'm wondering (if I don't mind the extra bulk) if I can just leave it in the case and keep the case charged up via USB. Has anyone else used this type of battery /case before?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] GunnarKarlsson:
I think that could be doable, if the case have an "off" switch so that it does not charge the phone all the time.

I think its inadvisable to charge the phone from the case while the case itself is charging, at least that was the case (no pun intended) with the external battery case I had for my old galaxy s2.

please make a quick review when you get the case!

(the one i got for the s2 was advertised as 2200mAh, but in use it was not even 1000mAh, it only charged the phone about 40-50% even if the phone itself was turned off while charging from the case. I kept it anyway since it was quite convenient to charge the phone "in the pocket" so to speak)

//Gunnar
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Yokobln:
From the brando link:

" Please Charge the Battery Case and Sony Xperia Z1 compact / Z1f Separately. (Do Not Charge the Battery Case and Sony Xperia Z1 compact / Z1f At the Same Time)"

Looking forward to a tiny review aswell ;)

Regards,

Yoko
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bigdfmartin:
I wasn't exactly sure how to interpret that, since it would actually be possible to connect USB cables to both parts simultaneously.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] GunnarKarlsson:
Not to be a "mister know it all", but I think the micro usb port on the phone is covered by the case. it looks like it in the pictures anyway.

//Gunnar
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bigdfmartin:
Very observant, you are correct, sir. I guess that answers my question.

This phone already has great battery life- I still had 80% left when I got home from work yesterday, so I guess the extra battery might come in handy for camping trips and stuff like that, but I wouldn't want to have to take it out of the case every time I was charging it. Daily use might not be practical.

I'll post my first impressions of it as soon as it gets here and I've had a day or so to play with it.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] blue_quartz:
No worries, the instruction manual explicitly mentioned that you can certainly charge the phone while it's attached to the case, and it will charge the phone first before charging the battery. :good:

View attachment 2729044

Unfortunately for me, it arrived with a broken packaging case... I reluctantly threw it away due to the sharp broken edges. The case itself is fine.

View attachment 2729045

You can see that the case is drawing about 1 A input to charge the phone first (charging the battery does reduce that to its specified 800 mA rating)

View attachment 2729046

The connector, overall I will say the case is well-constructed. The clips latch on the the phone easily and yet firmly, so you don't have to worry about them separating accidentally or scratching the phone's metallic frame. The dimensions are spot-on and it feels good in the hand.

View attachment 2729047

The positioning of the microUSB port meant that it can even prop the case up vertically.

View attachment 2729049

Here, you can see the tapered side profile and unobstructed microSD card slot. This is one advantage over the equivalent version for the Z1.

View attachment 2729050

The cut-out for the camera is just nice, and you should also be able to see the glossy white surface. I had the impression it was going to matt from the Brando website's photos though, not a big issue...

View attachment 2729051

The kickstand in action. Unfortunately, this is where I have to deduct some points off the case... the kickstand is a little short and requires an absolutely flat surface to be stable. It is quite easy to push the phone over otherwise. In other words, it gets the job done, but just barely.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bigdfmartin:
Mine came in last night, and the box it came in was also cracked in one corner. Your review is spot on. I got the black one, which does have a matte finish. The only thing I would add is that they could have rounded the hard corners a little bit more to make it a little more comfortable in the hand. It does double the thickness of the phone. I always carry mine in a holster, so that doesn't bother me a bit, but it might be an issue if you normally carry it in your jeans pocket. It will take a few days to see how well it works, but overall I'm pretty happy with it.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] juried:
I am very interested in hearing back about the battery capacity, about how long the phone can keep going when both batteries are charged.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] blue_quartz:
Sorry to burst the bubble of anyone monitoring this thread, but after weeks of usage, I realized the battery capacity does not live up to the claims on the website. My observations:

The battery is fully depleted in about two hours, and can only recharge no more than 70% of the Z1 Compact's internal battery. This puts the actual capacity at around 1600 to 1800 mAh.

The battery indicator is not well-calibrated. According to it, the first 25% of the battery is depleted in about 10 minutes, and the next 50% is depleted in almost 2 hours, meaning about 25% in less than hour. The last 25% is also depleted quickly. The discharge rate is inconsistent with the constant charging rate I see for the Z1 Compact's internal battery.

My testing was done while the phone is idling, and I wasn't using the phone at all while it was being charged by the Power Jacket. Wi-Fi is enabled. I have feedback this to Brando Workshop, let's see what they have to say... maybe I got a defective unit.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bigdfmartin:
You must have gotten a defective unit. I haven't done any kind of exhaustive tests, but mine charges the phone from around 70% back up to 100% more quickly than the wall charger does, and I've hardly put a dent in the external battery charge. I'm pretty confident I can use the phone pretty heavily for a couple of days between charges.

Mugen Power is now making an external battery case for the z1c, but I haven't seen any pics of it yet.

dave
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] blue_quartz:
Have you tried to fully deplete the Power Jacket? E.g. run the Z1 Compact down to say 10% battery life and then see if there's still some power left after charging the phone fully.

I suspect your wall charger is charging slower than 1A, because my wall charger can deliver 1.2+ A to the phone easily through the magnetic charging contacts or micro-USB.

Maybe it wasn't mentioned clearly in my original post, but the Power Jacket does seem to charge my phone in the region of 1 A, I'm just dismayed that the capacity on mine is so weak.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] bigdfmartin:
I'll have to give that a try and get back to you. I was a little curious why the Mugen costs so much more than the Bando (it's around $90).
