[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E66666666:
The Z3 Compact indeed has lousy camera glass quality. I don't think it's glass, it's plastic, as you will be able to deform it using only your nail and pressing it. Here's my sample. I was having another problem with the camera, as you can see the big spots, it's the glue letting go or something. As for the little scratches, they're real and you can see them with the naked eye. They're from day-to-day use for two-three weeks, just putting it on my desk and trying to swipe messages while it's laying on my desk or table, like I'm used to with the Galaxy Nexus.

I'm really sad Sony still cheaped out on this. Why didn't they just use Dragontrail X on both sides and sapphire glass? It's certainly in their budget seeing these pretty high prices, so there's no reason not to do this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
Corning does not list all the companies that use its glass. Apple, for example, is not listed but it uses Gorilla Glass. I believe Sony uses GG on at least one side of the Z3, but not sure about the Z3c.

As for the camera lens... it's probably the coating being scratched. All lenses, big and small, have coatings to minimize flare and other issues. If I took a needle to some of my Canon L lenses I bet I'd see a scratch in the coating, too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygys:
It looks more like yours still has protection foil on it cant you remove it? BTW glass used on the front is dragontrail. the back has no scratch resistant glass and scratches very easily. b
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
There is no separate removable protection foil on the camera glass afaik.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidyyuan:
What I've done to get around this issue is purchase an HTC M8 camera lens protector kit because it's almost a perfect fit (a tad smaller) but covers the area in front of the actual lens. The image degradation is barely noticeable so I'm pretty happy with it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
I noticed a rough spot on the camera glass on mine, when I lightly rubbed my nail over it, I couldn't really see anything but under my microscope I saw this.

It's not very promising as I've only had this phone for two months and a half, while my two-year old Xperia Acro S barely has a mark on its camera glass. I never treated this Z3C any worse than my old Acro S. I'm even treating this much more carefully than my Acro S.

So it does look like the camera glass on the Z3C is absolute rubbish material.

I'm not yet noticing any blurred or washed out spots in the pictures, but I do start to notice light streaks around bright light sources.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woza72:
So does the camera lense have like a removable film/protector? It looks like on my z3 compact that their are like air bubbles around the edges.

I'm so tempted to pick at it with a needle to see if it comes off!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AM Radio:
curious about the rest of the glass on the back. is it similarly marked up with scratches? if so, then: gorilla glass my ass!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
The outer layer is probably the polarization filter, I would not try to pick it off...

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

The rest of the back has a bunch of micro scratches, nowhere near as dense nor as deep as the ones on the camera though.

The front is still completely free of scratches.

deep scratch on the camera

Hello there! I bought this phone last wednesday and by yesterday evening I started to notice light streaks when the camera was looking to bright light sources. I thought that it might been dirty. I cleaned it and it still there. Looking to the camera glass with a bright light I noticed a deep scratch on it. Considering that it has less than a week, do you think that the seller or Sony itself will give me a replacement? And, if it has to be payed, is there anyone who payed for that? Thanks a lot

Hello,

I have problems with my new zenfone 5 bought yesterday, like whatsapp has no access to contacts, spam from badabe and mobo and i cannnot update the fw to actual one. I'm really confused because it says there is a firmware version 1.96.40.50 on it. See screenshot below. btw i bought the phone in malaysia. Does somebody know how to get fw 1.18 running?

Thank you!

Ok no screenshot but here are all information:

Baseband version

1428_1.4.31.2_0717

Kernel version

3.4.43-188799-g16e645b

Jenkins@localserver #1

Thu jun 26 12:03:01 cst 2014

Build number

Asus_t00f_ww_user_1.96.40.50_2019731_6736

Release-keys

SOLUTION

I found it on a russian Site (here should be a link, but nevertheless thanks to the 4pda.ru forum)

Simply download the FW UL_ASUS_T00F_W​W_1_15_40_20_u​ser.zip, extract it and rename the extracted zip to UL-ASUS_T00F-CN-1.97.50.60-user.zip .. important is the CN. Then transfer it to your root directory and it will instantly be recognized as system update. Thats it. Hope I could help some.

Hi,

I flashes ArchiDroid last night, the rom worked fine and everything was going alright. When I woke up during the middle of the night I noticed the phone was on the samsung logo but didn't think anything of it. This morning the battery was dead and it was still stuck on the samsung logo, it won't boot to recovery but does boot to download mode.

I've just tried flashing i9300 Vodafone OFW (not my carrier, but would it make a difference?) via Odin and get the following error message:

any help is greatly appreciated... im starting to think my nand is corrupt and that I can do nothing to fix it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deracmilan:
Habe you tried flashing stock Rom and recovery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivam.k:
I think you should flash the original stock firmware to you device and it will surely work and again if u wanna root first apply cwm recovery

Bcoz its the best

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
The file I'm trying to flash in Odin is the stock i9300 Vodafone UK OFW so yeah, only difference is my phone is not on Vodafone, it's unlocked to all networks but I can't find OFW for that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Your nand maybe corrupt try all options if they fail then try rescue firmware here >> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << only use as a last resort and read instructions carefully.;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
what other options would you suggest until I declare that as a last resort?

edit: is there anyway I can save my pictures before I continue with this?

also, how do i open the other options in odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
If stock roms are failing to flash with nand error then their is not much more options to try other than emergency firmware you could try flashing a recovery like PhilZ recovery with odin and see if it will boot into that then try to make a backup. (but I don't hold out much luck with that).

If that fails try rescue firmware in the link I provided but if that fails than it is a service repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
How do am I able to add all the files to Odin when it's greyed out?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
If you are having problems with odin then try a different version some work better than others. >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/27-08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539 << 1.85 seems to work well for me.

[Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] Cheesus182:
Hey guys,

Im looking to buy a new phone and my budget as a student doesnt really allow me to go over 350€.

I have an invitation for the One Plus One but that expires this after noon and im not sure if I should just go for the Opo or wait a couple of days/weeks for the Z2?

My problem is, I prefer the Z2 over the Opo as it has a metal body, 4k screen, 4000mAh battery etc but since I am phoneless right now I cant really wait until say december to get the Z2.

Does anyone have any news on the availability in Europe and the pricing?

Apart from that, any trust worthy chinese resellers which I could potentially get the phone from?

I hope someone can help me!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markboi13:
Does the lack of 64bit make much of a difference for between now and 2016 spring where I'll most probably get my next phone after this note? Will it take some time for 64bit to really be widespread in terms of apps and games and software etc which would make it ok to get this note provided I upgrade again in 2016?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcman2000:
According to anandtech, the Exynos version might have a 64bit capable architecture (Cortex A57), but the chip's drivers and firmware run in a CAL mode (32-bit compatibility mode). This means that while it benefits from some of the performance and power saving features of A57, it won't be running 64bit code.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiepgia:
Same as Snapdragon 410 devices launched. No 64bit code because Android 4.4.4 can't run 64bit but Android L will.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcman2000:
The anandtech article: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8537/samsungs-exynos-5433-is-an-a57a53-arm-soc

It seems to imply that this was never meant to be a 64bit SoC, and may not ever run in 64bit mode (at least without some hacking), even with Android L.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiepgia:
They share their opinion. I checked HTC Desire 510 have snapdragon 410 too. In source code doesn't have AArch64 implement too. But it doesn't mean an update with android L won't bring implement AArch64.

Anandtech think Exynos 5433 is 32 bit and they are total wrong. Now they can wrong too.

Exynos 5433 with AArch64 at first is line up Exynos 6 but they don't want Snapdragon chipset can't sell-out when people want Exynos chipset. The very same story with Snapdragon and Exynos in Galaxy S4/S5 and Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _INSPIREed:
I think some people answered your question but not fully lol. Simply put this whole argument over 64-bit and 32-bit is kind of pointless. As others have stated the exynos version isn't even running in 64 bit mode. Android L has yet to be released and there is no way of telling if it can be put into 64 bit mode. Even if it could, if you decide to get a snapdragon note now, you will be good. Most apps will not be 64 bit compatible out of the gate, and will take some time for them to be so. You will not experience any major loss in performance, and maybe someslight difference in battery life. Hell my nexus 5 on Android L developer preview which isn't even finalized runs AMAZING in comparison to kit kat, and in no way shape or form is the nexus 5 64 bit compatible. Don't let 64-bit fanboys sway your decision on an exynos vs snapdragon note 4. They both will be powerhouses with android L. By 2016 for your next upgrade there will be plenty of 64 bit phones, especially the S6 at that time, and the Note 5 in the fall.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itchiee:
It will be years until 64bit is widely accepted and used so you'll be okay. I'm basing this off of the windows transition which is still occurring after all these years.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
People get new phone every 18 months on average, I would imagine people hold on to computers for much longer, so analogy to windows regarding transition is probably wrong. Another example for disparity would be OS updates, Google has 2-3 updates of Android a year, where MS would be every 2-3 years?

Also the newest ARM architecture is probably 20-40% faster (per clock) and Google has a chance to write more efficient OS (like replacing JIT with ART for example). So I'm willing to predict that transition to 64 bit will be much faster for the phones than it is with computers. Of course all this depends on translating theoretical gains into real life advantages , if they don't show up due to poor execution, then all bets are off.
