I think yours is faulty and your problem is not common. Yes, the vibrate is weaker than it should be. I believe this "may" be correctable in firmware as I am not sure that even set to high, we are actually getting maximum vibration. But I don't recall anyone saying it is changing over time....just not strong enough to begin with. You may need to get yours swapped out.
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
You could just be getting used to it. My old Sony Ericsson MBW-150 vibrated a lot stronger than my Gear 2, but after a few hours sometimes I didn't notice it either. Hopefully we get a fix to make it stronger either from Samsung or a rooted ROM.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyko:
I was shopping phones in Hong Kong and had a choice between the Xperia Z1 Compact and the docomo SO-02F. The seller was offering a slightly better price on the docomo SO-02F with addition of the DK31 dock, headphones, and spare magnetic charging cable. I also remembered something about the docomo having a couple better build features than the Z1 Compact so I decided to pull the trigger. Phone was working fine and then I returned to the U.S.A. I decided to go for a new T-Mobile account and here's where I'm having a problem. I can't get any 3G or LTE internet, I only get 2G. Did I screw myself by choosing the docomo SO-02F instead of the Z1 Compact. As far as I can tell, the docomo SO-02F will not give you 3G or LTE internet on the U.S. T-Mobile network.

Help!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuizmoPhil:
If you can get phone call, but no data connection, it is more likely that you forgot to configure the APN settings in Android. Thoses settings aren't built-in the SIM card.

Phone & 2G data connections are working fine. Toyed with APN settings for hours and still no 3G or LTE. Put the card in my Galaxy S2 with same APN settings and everything is fine.

Thanks for trying to help, but I'm pretty sure this phone doesn't have the hardware to support USA T-Mobile. Hope I'm wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuizmoPhil:
Hum, so if I understand correctly, you can't even connect to 3G or LTE for phone calls, only 2G is working on your phone?

If that is the case, have you tried flashing a ROM from another region? Might be that somehow the BAND4 is disabled in the East Asian ROM.

I'm using the Generic UK .757 ROM on my D5503 without any problem and I can see the Vidéotron AWS network when I scan for networks. Vidéotron use the same BAND4 then T-Mobile USA. My carrier (Fido) use LTE on BAND4, I'm using it at the moment.

My guess is that you have a ROM that disabled the BAND4 3G and LTE.

According to the Sony whitepapers, there's only two version of the Z1 Compact, the D5503 and the M51w.

The M51w lack LTE capability. Otherwise both phone supports 3G over BAND4.

See page 5: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z1_Compact_D5503_WP_4.pdf

What model number is your Z1 Compact? M51w or D5503?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
I thought only China got M51W, and all the other Z1C were the same globally, with the exception of Z1f, where the hardware does differ slighty.

Anyway, Mr/Ms OP, can you check the most basic thing, just so that we can be sure it is something to do with the radio?

Settings -> More....(one line under Xperia connectivity) -> mobile network settings -> Mobile networks -> Network mode -> and then choose the appropriate like LTE (preffered) and make sure it is not on GSM only.

The phone does not come set like this by default (to GSM only) so it is highly unlikely, but I have seen other users who couldn't connect to 3/4g because of this setting.

The more likely culprit is radio compatibility. While Z1c covers t-mobile band IV, looking at wikipedia for NTT Docomo (which is what Z1f should comply to) Z1f does not cover 1700 MHz (UMTS1700 (Band IX(4)).

Docomo devices should cover 1,3,9, 19 and 21, and since 4 is not on there, this could be the cause.

I don't know if this is the reason for sure, but I would assume so.

Assuming that the SoC and antenna are identical in Z1f and Z1c... and

If all above is true, yet you want to use it with in the U.S., you have the choice of changing the carrier, or changing the firmware and radio.

I know Z1f can be rooted, and that is the first step.

Once it is rooted, you can change the firmware.

It might be easier to unlock the bootloader and flash the relevant firmware on it, but that convenience comes with certain terms and conditions..

Based on your comment jewelkobayashi, I can't really understand if there's a way for me to root and flash my way out of this mess, or if I'm simply stuck with a piece of hardware that will never be compatible with the T-Mobile 1700 MHz (UMTS1700 Band IX(4). Warranty is irrelevant to me, so if there's a way to zap the firmware into working, I'm all ears :fingers-crossed:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
[MENTION=552388]cyko[/MENTION]

Simply put, I believe that you can flash z1c firmware.

This will render some features like tv tuner redundant, but this should be the least of your concerns, assuming that ofutside of Japan it won't work anyway.

If you do not require root, then flashing is straight forward. You should download the latest flashtool and flash an unbranded Rom of your choice. Just choose a region of Rom that has the same band of LTE as yours.

My guess is that this should be enough to make your phone work. My educated guess is that the antenna within these 2 variants are identical. Even though I did not try the LTE, I had a DoCoMo Rom briefly on my z1 compact, and it worked fine, with reception and all.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
I highly doubt cross-flashing a Z1C firmware is going to enable Z1C 3G/LTE frequencies.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyko:
@Rekoil & @jewelkobayashi

I appreciate the input you have given in this thread. Here's the dilemma I'm facing.

I really can't see how a ROM is going to change the hardware specs. As you can see in my post #6, UMTS1700/2100 (B4) is not listed in the hardware specs of the SO-02F. I could be totally wrong about this, but I guess there's a small possibility that the hardware inside the two models is identical, and programming could be what enables the different cellular networks. IF that IS the case, I don't know the appropriate means to achieve my objective. Are we talking "Firmware", Radio, or ROM?

I'm heading back to Hong Kong in a couple weeks, and I could trade this in on the regular Z1C. I'm sure I'll take a financial hit on trading in at the shop I bought it from, but it is a possible solution.

I'm all up for flashing it, but it would really be helpful if someone could enlighten me on the chances of it working and the proper procedures I need to take to bring it back to exactly stock OEM configuration if it doesn't work. I'm fairly comfortable playing with hardware, but this is my first Sony. It would be great if someone could point me to the exact procedures for backing up the stock configuration and the best options for the T-Mobile USA network.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TD0711:
I think they meant to flash the new z1c firmware for your z1f. As on the tutorial from other thread, to rooted this phone it needed to flash the docomo firmware before flash the other firmware to rooted the phone and it worked for me. I am currently using the uk firmware for my z1c and i lived in Australia. Not so sure if it would work for your case but imo, it is worth to give a shot to see if it works. It is better to waste more money to get something done but if it can be fixed by simply a different firmware. Just follow the guide and you will be all right. All the best of luck man.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Find out your customisation number (*#*#SERVICE#*#* > Software Info > Customisation ID), find (or create, there are guides on other Sony phone forums) an FTF of this version, flash Z1C radio (if that doesn't work, try flashing full system/boot/radio, lastly try a full Z1C FTF), if you get a signal, congrats, if not, flash the FTF you found/made and swap the phone out at the retailer, make sure to boot it at least once first.

I should note that I have no idea what this will do to the phone, but most likely there won't be any damage since those of us with Z1C can safely cross-flash to SO-02F in order to root and save our TA partitions without unlocking bootloader.

Didn't want to leave this thread hanging and wanted to thank you guys for the input. In the end, I took a look at the amount of time I would need to invest in flashing etc. and decided to return the SO-02F. I wasn't sure a flash would change the hardware spec, and without confirmed experience with the situation, I didn't want to take a chance on screwing up the stock settings. The seller took care of me, but I opted for a new HTC M8 instead of trading for the Z1 Compact.

I haven't had a Sony product for a long time and this one was pretty good. The build quality and hardware specs were nice, battery was fantastic. The camera was a big disappointment, even after tweaking every possible setting. Each brand has a different flashing routine and lingo for customizing, I just wasn't feeling jazzed about the hours of research necessary for familiarity with a new brand of device.

If you happen to flash UMTS1700/2100 to the SO-02F, please let us know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirFoxx:
So the other day while minding my own business, I pulled out my phone to use it's calculator for some accounting work. Just as a side note, I keep my phone in my front pocket, and do not wear skinny jeans. When I pulled it out, I looked at the back and it had a crack going down the center of the glass with a slight bulge where the battery is. As soon as I got home, I pulled the battery out and saw that the backside was bulging outwards. It bulged so bad that it managed to crack the glass even with one of those gel-like protectors on it O_o. I tossed it aside and put it my spare battery, which should have been good. This is where the interesting stuff starts happening.

Slowly but surely, the lifespan of my battery would get shorter till the point where as soon as I unplugged it, it would die. It got so bad that It would die around 95%. When it would charge, the percentage would vary a lot, making a very interesting graph in the battery app I have. Not only that, but sometimes when I would restart my phone, it would be a completely different percentage than it was before. On top of that, when the phone would die, it would be at a different percentage than when it was still alive. I would have to plug it into a charger in order for it to start up again. If I did not, it would sometimes get into a boot loop where it would say google, turn off, then turn itself back on, rinse and repeat until I held the power button forcing it off.

After I changed the battery, I rooted it and put the Carbon nightly rom on it, but in order to eliminate possible problems, I did do a factory reset to the phone to make sure it was either of those.

Now I did put a "new" battery from ebay in it, but I am still having the same issue. However, the battery I believe was not new because it still had glue on the back of it from a previous nexus. My actual new battery should be here tomorrow I hope.

Could there be a problem with the batteries, or could there be a problem with my logic board? I have tried two different chargers, the LG one provided with the phone, and a rocket fish wall charger, same problem. Attached are two different pictures of the battery graph. The sharp drops are where it dies, and the sawtooth wave is it on charge. (Don't hurt me! I know I'm not supposed to post outside links, but this is absolutely necessary for you wonderful people to help me! Just remove the space in the link and it will work)

The current Google Play Music app seems to have 2 interfaces. There is the normal, "full" interface that you get when you open the app directly. There's another "mini" interface that you get when you try to open a music file from a file explorer. It opens up this stupid control on your screen where you can listen to the file, but if you try to touch anywhere on the screen, swipe, or turn the power off, the player control goes away and the music stops playing, so you have to start the whole thing over again.

Is there a way to have files open directly with the normal, "full" interface?

I frequently experience poor image quality (pixelation) when viewing photos in the S5 Gallery app. The issue sometimes goes away if I back out of the current image to the thumbnails and reopen the image.
