[General Omni Discussion] Ali7000:
Hi, I need a Rom that allows bootloader unlock permission: No. My phone can't have it's bootloader unlocked for some weird reason and I need any Rom since the current factory software is way to slow relative to it's 1.5ghz, quad core processor. I'd appreciate the support and if you know how to change the permission to unlock the bootloader to yes, that would be even better.
[General Omni Discussion] rodrigorajao:
If you can root your current ROM, you could try Boot Unlocker from the Play store.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Canadianomar:
Hey guys, I was wondering if the new Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet will take calls just like a normal Xperia smartphone.

I ask this because I am considering purchasing a Z Ultra but I prefer an even bigger screen if possible, would the Z3 Compact Tablet also take calls, where I can keep it to my face and talk?

I heard it will require a Bluetooth headset in order for you to use it as a phone.

I am confused as to which one to get, any help would be appreciated!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
This review says it has an earpiece and microphone. Haven't been able to find anything either way from Sony's information.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zemblance:
I was wondering too as all the screenshots show a phone icon. Not sure if they're just mock-ups or not though...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] emann56:
The LTE version you can send text messages and make calls.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
The hands on videos show it also.

Right but the question we are trying to answer is whether it has microphone and earpiece on the handset. At least one site claims in their review that a Bluetooth headset is needed for calls.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kable:
Edit:

Just saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2zg7hV3XtU#t=240

I don't understand the guy but it appears that he is saying there is an ear piece there although I do not see it.

Sony says on their website that LTE and 4G are not available in all markets for this device as well.

Just have to wait and see I guess.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
By using the term earpiece I only meant to describe call audio routing to top speaker the same as on Z Ultra.

I think they are referring to the bands available from your carrier may not be compatible, not that the device will be unavailable.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I too am interested in this, especially as there's a special offer on the Z3 tablet at the moment in the UK

http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/10/1...-tablet-compact-for-under-300-including-case/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
according to a comment on the Clove blog

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/10/10/...ompact-arriving-week-commencing-20th-october/

it can be used as a phone, but I would wait until they have their hands on one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SkyDelete:
SXZ3TC can be used as a phone, but since he hasn't conversational speaker, just normal speaker, everyone others will hear your interlocutor. Also it hasn't proximity sensor, so won't lock screen. So more advisable use handsfree, especially that one with awesome noise reduction.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PreVoiD:
So, do you guys plan on using the Z3 Tablet Compact as a phone? I'm not sure what to do really, since my first plan was to use it instead of my Note 2 and iPad. But when I learned that you're unable to place calls like "normal" and have to rely on a separate bluetooth headset, I'm not so sure anymore. What if you forget the headset at home, for example? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] methodz:
I have a hard time believing this thing doesn't have a mic for talking on the phone otherwise how do you Skype, gchat or whatever? I have heard there is no proximity sensor which i can live with because I don't want to put this beast next to my face anyways therefore I don't care about the earpiece part for phone calls. Come on guys, do you guys really want to put this thing up to your face in public? You'll never get laid! HAHAHA. Hopefully the 3.5 jack will do the trick.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
From reports in the Z3TC forums from European members that have them, it works the same as using phone in speaker mode. Not idea for having private conversations.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
You guys will be really popular on public transportation :cool: I would so joke around if i knew someone using the Z3TC as their phone. I would call them up at work or in public and ask them for something awkward, like "i need my buttplug back soon" or something.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/11/07/sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-review/

"And should you so choose, you could make normal phone calls and send text messages with this. Unless you are particularly socially comfortable a Bluetooth headset might be the best bet."

doesn't say if it has an ear-piece rather than speakerphone feature.

of course, Sony want you to buy a BRH10 and use that as the handset instead

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/remote-and-handset-brh10/

(which would be great, except that it doesn't have a headphone socket nor AptX)

Hello Everyone ,

i have a little question

I had already a samsung galaxy s4 value edition, and I have already solded , and now i want a buy a another smartphone

which is the best? Samsung galaxy note 3 neo or Samsung galaxy s5 mini ( Finger print i love it hihi but check this comment from another member for finger print http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55297050&postcount=4 his say isn't fluid ) , or i buy again s4 value edtion

Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DönerXXL:
Purchase the the mini s5. :good:

I have no problems with fingerprint.

Runs very well. :good:

In addition, we need here in the mini forum every man.

Maybe you're a dev and can make good Roms for us... :D :fingers-crossed:

Purchase the S5 mini brother ! :highfive:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houmam:
thank you very much , i have another question , for battery life is it good ? I await the opinions of other people and i I'll buy
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radu27:
I recommend Note 3 Neo because it has the s-pen which is great, it's bigger than S5 mini with 1 inch and it's more performance. You need to thing two times before you buy one of these phone. Note 3 neo is performance, but s5 mini has a fingerprint sensor and it is water resistence.

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DönerXXL:
Ok the battery is only 2100mAh and the Neo has 3100 mAh.

My phone is now running 17 hours and I still have 68%.

I make some phone calls, internet and email.

But you have to decide now.

The mini has some features that the neo has not.

Fingerprint, Heart Rate Monitor, Waterproof ...

@ Radu27

Yes S-Pen is good.I also have a Galaxy Note 2. :D :good:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] db4711:
The two phones are very different. We got both in our family. The note neo is the big one which you can use best with both hands. The S-pen is a goodie but is not often used. The display is very good and the os works fluid.

The S5 mini is my new favorite. It's perfect to use with one hand, very fast and got an very sharp and detailed display! The fingerprint sensor never got any problem.

You have to decide between a business phone (used with 2 hands) with the pen (writing or painting) or a small one which you can carry with your trousers and write with one hand!

So, I hope this will be helpful. Excuse my English.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osvanberg:
I strongly disagree with the guy above about the S5 minis display. It's soooo far from sharp and detailed as it gets. The 720p resolution just doesn't do it on this phone. It's impossible to read small fonts and read Web pages without zooming. Unfortunately a deal breaker for me!

For the rare occasion i do not have headset connected, all i have to do is turn the speaker volume down so that you can USE IT LIKE A NORMAL PHONE.

No proximity sensor? Just hit the power button and turn the screen off

if conversation is going to be long! When you want to finish the call, hit the power button to get to the dialer screen!

"Best Tablet in the market

October 25, 2014

Let me just say that I have tried almost every tablet on the market that's worth something over the last two years.I am by default an apple fan boy, but always had a thing for Sony.

Having owned a z3, a z1, and an Xperia z tablet, I think I am in a position to say that this compact tablet outshines all of sonys current product line, as well as everything else out there, including the iPad mini.

I was fortunate enough to purchase this tablet from Europe, I have the 16gb version with lte. For those of you wondering if it will work with att, I have had minimal results. After playing with the apn, I finally gave up and plugged in my t-mobile Sim card that I have (200 mb free plan monthly for lifefrom old iPad promotion last year)no problems

Tablet is crisp, fast, thin and light, and a pleasure to type on. Screen is gorgeous, and I am eagerly waiting on the remote play app. I specifically bought this to connect To my ps4

So what are you waiting For? Pretty order this bamboo today, you will not regret it!"
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] adfurgerson:
There are two variants of LTE model, the reviewer fails to mention which one they are speaking of. The SPG-621 appears to have all the ATT bands.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Jgonzo432:
I can confirm that the SGP-621 works with AT&T LTE using the settings described here http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424489&cv=820

Scroll down and open " + Android Devices"
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] adfurgerson:
On my unlocked Z Ultra there in settings under wireless and networks then select more and at the very bottom it says download settings for mms and Internet. After selecting that there is a pop-up giving RedPocket , H2Oand ATT as choices. Do you see anything similar in the Z3TC?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Jgonzo432:
Yeah, it's the same on the Z3TC. I didn't accept the download because I don't want my settings changed so I can't confirm if it has RedPocket , H2O and ATT etc...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] adfurgerson:
Thanks for checking, on the pop-up there is option to cancel. I tried selecting the H2O to see what would happen, it switched to an apn named att.sony.mvo while it tried to download. Then it errors out and switched back to regular att.Phone apn.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jetstoya:
Works like a phone model SGP621
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] nonukez:
Just to add to what's been said, yes, the 621 does indeed make and receive phone calls (Bell Canada for me).

I use a bluetooth headset for work for most of my day so it wasn't a big change for me, but like others have said, you CAN turn down the volume of the speaker phone and use it as a makeshift phone.

Just note though, the speakers' minimum volume is greater than a typical earpiece, so if for some reason you're trying to have a private conversation in a quiet room, people in the room will hear the other end. And the microphone is not placed on the bottom like a phone, but on the side of the tablet near the top. I haven't yet asked the other person on the line if it sounds weird, but since they didn't mention it (or didn't realize I was talking from a different "phone"), I assume the impact is negligible.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] digitalbenny:
I've noticed a lot of people complaining that the stock messaging app on the Z3 phone is unable to send group MMS... Have you found this to be true on the LTE tablet as well?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] AirBruce:
I can confirm that it is a problem. I've tried messing with the APN settings and no success. (I have the XZ3TC LTE version on T-Mobile US)

Still looking for a workaround or fix. Very frustrating.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] digitalbenny:
Any luck? My XZ3TC LTE is on order and should arrive soon. I will also be using T-Mobile... Not a deal breaker for me (already ordered it...) Just curious.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] D_JWhite:
Could handcent not sort this?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] smartinick:
Just use a different messaging app, e.g. Hangouts ;)

For using the sgp621 as a phone, I used Tasker to create a profile where it locks the screen and turns down the volume tolowest level when the light sensor is covered. As the sensor is right between the front camera and the microphone, one can hold the phone upside down while making a phone call and cover the light sensor durinf a call.

Except for the possibility to chance the balance of the speakers it's everything I needed for beeing qble to make "normal" phone calls when i'm not using a headset.

Speakerphone mode works surprisingly good whilein the car and leaving the phone on the co-drivers seat.

Brgds, Martin.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sillyphillie:

My phone plan still works, except T-Mo has blocked my data. There are two separate threads on this subject, but the titles are not properly descriptive. T-Mo has previously defined a "tablet' as a 'data only device.' I have been using voice-enabled tablets for two years. It is ridiculous that this comes out of the blue, with no warning, from 'the uncarrier.'

Anybody know how the 621 works on AT&T and random MNVO's?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] digitalbenny:
Isn't it funny that DATA is off, and VOICE is on? Completely opposite of what they say our device is capable of.

I am beyond upset, especially as I did quite a bit of homework before buying this, and was even assured by a T-Mobile rep that it would be okay. Glad, but sorry, to see there's others with my predicament...

I've bought a Z3 SGP621 and it works well on AT&T but discovered that it's basically set up to be used as a speakerphone and does not have the standard speakerphone option - and the minimum volume, lowest setting, is still too loud.

None of the apps (including Viper4Android) have successfully reduced the volume. Any ideas? My Z3TC is rooted of course.

It's a nice tablet but the loud minimum volume is really annoying!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] digitalbenny:
Wear earmuffs, or use Bluetooth. I use the Sony Bluetooth Remote/Handset with the tablet. Works good. Plus allows you to use the tablet and multitask while on the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] MartyM76:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] digitalbenny:
Read this thread in it's entirety. Multiple mentions that there is no "earpiece" speaker on the device.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] MartyM76:

Yes, perhaps I'll have to use my headphones w/mic identical to the Sony ones included with my Z Ultra. I also tested the Huawei Mediapad M2 8.0 (8") and it was very good for calls (has both low volume or speakerphone option) but the Z3 has many better features.

Oh well, thanks.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] MartyM76:
Thanks, I did try this already - I can increase the steps but no matter what I do the minimum volume is the same. The only thing I've been able to do yet is change sound output during calls from both speakers to the top speaker only (modified mixer_paths.xml file in /system/etc/). I've tried changing volumes in there also but it didn't work, or I didn't change the right section, etc.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kos25k:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] luksona2002:
You can use it normally as a phone, bothtake calls and send sms, but if you want to talk then headset would be nice because it has 2x stereo speakers and whole sound is very loud, im saying this coz i have 4g version of z3 tablet and im making calls with normal earphones which have a mic
