[Lenovo P780] Dark_Horse:
Yes, I meant firmware S124, small typo there (sorry!), but the way to get S124 is to install S123 which was the link I posted above, and then OTA update to S124 which is the last official JB version. As you have seen, there is an S220 OTA update available which will update your phone to Kitkat so unless you want KitKat, stick with S124.

If you do update to KitKat S220, then keep doing OTA updates as it's currently at S226.
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
Thanks for help. I'll stay with S124 for now as there are still issues with S226 (as well as previous KitKat ROMs) - forums.lenovo.com link.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Hahahalalala:
So, I stupidly upgraded my tablet to KitKat a while back and now my SD card is rendered useless. I don't want to root because I don't want it to be a brick, so what should I do now?

I bought a 16GB tablet because my plan was to save everything on my SD card....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Tilagoon:
Hi,

You don't say which model you own ??

If it is a SM-P605 you can root it with TowelRoot without problem nor risk.

Once rooted you can install SDFix from Google Play to recover the use of your external SD.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] randybellis:
I do not have mine yet. It comes in Monday but upgrading to Kit-Katie kills the SD slot? I Know I ordered the 600 and not the 605

Hope I didn't make a mistake with this tablet
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Tilagoon:
Kit-Kat has restricted the access to the External SD to Read-Only for the external app's.

The system App's can still write on it.

This can changed with the above mentionned app but it needs root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Hahahalalala:
It will be the 16GB White 10 inch one.

Really? I am afriad of messing up. May I havem ore info?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Hahahalalala:
Do you know how can I move the systems apps to extsd w/o root then?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Tilagoon:
Yes but we need to know which model: Wifi only (SM-P600) or Wifi + 3G (SM-P601) or Wifi +LTE (SM-P605)

Only the P605 can be rooted without tripping Knox.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] RK:
If you dont want to root Just save your files to internal memory and move them to wherever you want on the external sd card using the stock my files app. Its not just the note. Every android tablet that runs KitKat has the same behavior.

Hey guys, so i got my S3 today and wanted to know if my boot loader was unlocked or not. Please let me know if an app that does that or not. Also, if there was a way of telling the phone is unlocked or not . Cheers, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Which android version is installed? VRUCML1 and VRUCNC1 4.3 are bootloader locked and so is VRUDNE1 4.4.2. No XDA exploit exists to unlock the bootloader on these firmware. Only way is to pay a $50 fee to MobileTechVideos to downgrade the firmware then unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] poppers162:
If you power off the device, then power it back on, you should see the words "Samsung" first. If they stay on the screen for more than 2 seconds, then it's locked down. If it flashes by almost instantly, then you're unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YPG70:
[MENTION=3576831]SlimSnoopOS[/MENTION] Well its NC1 with 4.3 , and I think it goes away instantly [MENTION=4935332]poppers162[/MENTION].. so I am still in between the two.. confused.

As there is no forum for your specific device on xda, you have to ask in the Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

You can try one of the universal rooting methods, such as:

Yes, I did, the rhino shield is not tempered glass and the ebay link posted was in another language and I didn't see any words that looked like tempered glass. so my question about good tempered glass screen protectors stands.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cyphomatic:
The Zagg application spray worked like a charm. Had to manually press some moisture out with the cardboard wrapped in the cloth and let it rest for a few hours.

The outer edges fit perfectly. Only the front cam and sensors don't align perfectly. But it isn't causing any interference with the lens.

For the time being, I have both the Rhino front and back in combination with the casemate tough. That's enough protection while waiting for a classy leather wallet.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

One downside for the Rhino: the edges are sharp and stick out. This makes the phone a little less comfortable to handle naked.

Edit: Another side effect I experience with the Rhino back protector . The Rhino, just like some transparent cases mentioned, absorbs the flash when taking pictures in darker area's and overlights the shot. Anybody else found this to be true? The cut-outs are very very narrow. In my humble opinion, they should have made the cut-outs for the cam and flashlight bigger.

I have asked Zagg about front and back glass also-will keep you posted.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] fatnums:
Hi,

I just got my rhino yesterday, especially for the back because i already have a Muvit tempered glass on the front.

I'm a little bit...desapointed with the touch of the rhino. It's rougher than the Muvit glass which have the same touch as the original screen and which is easy to install.

Fingerprints are also more visible on the rhino...so I will keep my Muvit on the front, and will use my rhino front only for replacement.

If you have alternatives brands for the back, i'm aware :D

Anybody else experiencing flashlight troubles with the rhino? Please report here and to the producers. Major flaw, design error should be addressed. Money back or new modified back protection.

In the dark my entire backshield lights up like a neon window when using the flashlight. Useless to make any pictures in the dark.

Coupled with the sharp edges and the lifting edges I feel completely ripped off

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
I don't think anyone (unless living in China) has any of these two products yet since they aren't listed that long. I saw the Nillkin one, but went for Ultimate Shield instead.

I have ordered the tempered glass for the back, 4 to be exact, but I'll be receiving them at the end of November or something.

Anyone have experience with Clear-Coat full body protection?

http://www.clear-coat.com/sony-xperia-z3-compact-screen-protector-case-skin-cover-shield.html

Are the frame pieces very visible? How's the adhesive? Does it leave residue? Are the corners beveled or sharp? Likely to be pulled up by casual contact? Have you had it on a phone with rounded edges like the Z3c?

I like the idea of film but I guess it doesn't really protect the most vulnerable parts apart from the back and screen, ie. the corners.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
In my opinion, for that price you're better off buying a tempered glass screen protector for the front and back. The sides of the Z3C don't really need protection. I'm not sure how the side frame pieces will be visible since the sides are made out of 'plastic' and not glass.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MrZippo:
Bugger! I have noticed that my Rhinoshield back protector is having the same problems you lot are having with the flash!!

They want the photo of how we applied the back cover, not the photos taken by the camera.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] JumpingShadow:
I too have came across the same problem with the Rhinoshield back and the flash overlighting any low light photos. I've sent a mail to their customer services and I'll see if they answer but basically if they don't replace it, I feel like the whole thing was a ripoff. They were expensive screen protectors and basically the back one is as good as thrown in the trash since it makes the flash unusable. :( I hope since it seems a general issue they do something and replace them for free by a redesigned model.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] playagiron:
Hi,

I recently got my Z3C and absolutely love it. Only the glass back is a bit slippery so I thought of getting a back protector film that feels nice and protects it well.

Actually, the film that it cam e with has a nice mate finish and feel so something like that but that sticks to it obviously would be great.

For now I ordered a tempered glass protector for the front but it is still arrive.

Anyhow, my question is, what seem to be good deals/quality items for this phone, as noe there are dozens different ones popping up on ebay and amazon?!

Also, I did by a rubber cover for when on travel, in office use however, really want to have it "naked" in its full beauty. ;)

Any suggestions or links? Thanks!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] winston6969:
Response from evolutive labs, I'm really not happy with the response as they've admitted it's a design issue but still want me to pay to receive a replacement, no chance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] swasoose:
That is ridiculous. I also have the same problem with the back. Just checking the alignment by eye, its pretty much perfect but I still have the problem. Judging by their response you need a jig to apply the thing! Simply put, its cut too tight and they have admitted it.

I have sent them an email along with pictures. Hopefully the more of us that complain will change their stance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] winston6969:
My response
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] swasoose:
Well I'm still waiting on their response. Is there anyone who does NOT have this issue with the back protector because I would like to see evidence from Rhinoshield themselves that if it is applied correctly its not lit up like a Christmas tree with the flash on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] JumpingShadow:
still no answer from them on my side but I'm dying that they ask for 6$ of shipping to correct THEIR mistake (if it wasn't then why making a redesign on the next batch). So basically we trust them and put a preorder, then we get screwed with a defective screen protector that they ask us all more money to send one that is not defective? Also i highly doubt the shipping is costing them that much considering I received mine in a simple envelope sent from the UK.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MrZippo:
I have decided to remove the Rhinoshield front protector as my Ultimateshield Premium tempered glass film protector arrived today.

I have to say that the Ultimateshield is really great.

The feel is so smooth and it doesn't attract fingerprints like the Rhinoshield. The fit is perfect and the phone retains it's great looks as you can't really notice the protector on it.

Also the edges are rounded off nice and smoothly so you won't feel any sharp feeling on the edges.

I also found that the Rhioshield suffered from the sharp edge problem as mentioned by winston6969.

I got mine from Amazon UK

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Sh...40&sr=1-1&keywords=ultimate+shield+z3+compact

Or you can buy it from UltimateShield's site

http://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-tempered-glass-screen-protector/

I also got the Maximum protectors for the front, back and sides which are film like cutouts that require a wet soapy water application.

http://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-screen-protector/

I have removed the Rhinoshield back protector and applied the UltimateShield's back protector and so far so good.

The cutouts give enough space for the led flash to clear so it doesn't suffer from the flash problem of the Rhinoshield.

Also because of the material of the back protector is a flim like substance it's really made the back feel grippy so no more slippery phone.

The protector itself is a 0.1mm from the edge but it's hardly noticable.

Here are some updated pics of the phone now with the Ultimateshield tempered front glass and the normal side and back protectors. The pics show that my application of the side protectors are a little bit wonky but in reality you can't hardly see the protectors at all!

It looks like the phone is naked.

Sorry for the cr*p pics, I sold my Nokia Lumia 1020 and had to use the camera on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

Rhinoshield got back to me:

Surprise, surprise. I just rather be refunded at this point, ordered myself a 3-pack of back protectors for less price than the "international shipping".
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] JumpingShadow:
I got the same automatic response too, asking for me to pay for the shipping if i want a "free" replacement. If anybody gets a further reply please post it here? I really feel scammed at this point.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] gamingforfact:
Received the same email..... Guess I'll look elsewhere.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] sillieidiot:
i like how they are saying they cut it like that for maximum protection. what about the speaker cutouts?

edit: can't we just file a chargeback on our cards?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] JumpingShadow:
I paid with paypal so i still have 2 weeks to open a complaint, I'm seriously considering it. I'm not sure if I'll get my money back but at this point if they refuse to be reasonable and fix THEIR mistake for free, then it might be my only option to at least get a refund.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] playagiron:
Hi,

sorry I cannot find a back and side protector you mentioning, bioth links link to a front protector it seems or am I wrong??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MrZippo:
http://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-screen-protector/

On that link can you see where it says "coverage"?

You have 3 options

Maximum Protection

Screen Protection

Body Protection

I went for the Maximum protection which includes Front, back and sides.

Screen protection is just Front screen.

Body protection is just back and sides.

Hope that helps you
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] verie:
Hey, I preordered the Rhinoshield front and back screen protectors as well. I don't get the bloom effect from the flash as far as I can see. Perhaps I was just lucky with the application. I'm in full agreement that the cutout should've been bigger than what was given to us.

edit: seems like I spoke too soon, my earlier tests were done in complete darkness. now i'm getting the tint on the edge in certain light conditions.
