[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 58FlyingV:
First post, thanks everyone for the info! Been following this thread for a few days and feelin' the pain. Here's my order saga:

10/27 @ 1930 - Ordered orange Z3C from US Sony Store. Order page indicated 11/3 availability date. Order confirmation email showed 11/3 estimated ship date.

11/3 @ 1800 - No status change or shipping info emails received. Sony store order page now showed 11/4 availability date. Called Sony and they said the Z3C is backordered indefinitely, there was no known actual date of availability, and that the Sony store website information is not updated frequently.

11/4 @ 1705 - News at phonearena reported "the handset is currently backordered, and Sony says that it can’t ship it before November 17..."

@ 1720 Sony store website still shows 11/4 expected ship date for new orange orders.

11/5 @ 1655 - Sony store website showed 11/6 expected ship date for new orange orders.

11/6 @ 0030 - B&H shows 11/10 expected availability for black orders. I order black from B&H with 1-day delivery. B&H order is $50 less than Sony with 2-day delivery.

[MENTION=1466104]135[/MENTION]9 - Receive Sony email saying orange is preparing to ship with 11/7 estimated ship date. Yeah, sure it is...... :rolleyes:

@ 1715 - Called Sony customer service and told the orange Z3C is "preparing for shipping" from the warehouse in Chicago and my order cannot be cancelled!. Said I will receive FedEx shipping & tracking confirmation email in 24-48 hours. Said I'll be charged $75 restocking fee if I turn the phone around on receipt.

@ 1730 - B&H shows only white & green Z3C in stock. Sony shows estimated ship dates of: black & white 11/17, green 11/9 , orange 11/6.

@ 1800 - Checked B&H order status online. Status shows "In stock, order sent to warehouse for 1 Day Delivery". Have received no emails from B&H.

@ 1815 - Called B&H and automated order status service says my black Z3C order status is "undetermined".

@ 2030 - Sony now shows orange in stock! B&H shows white 11/10, black & green 11/13, orange 11/25.

So right now I have no idea what is going on and don't know if I should try to cancel the B&H black order. I'll either end up with no phone by this weekend or two phones come next weekend!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] robertkoa:
Wow.

That is a convoluted Status.

I wonder if SONY is doing a new Production Run with Dragontrail on the back

and no pink spot in the Cameras ?

Is this remotely possible ?

The other possibility is that the Device has been more popular than they thought

but still, I am guessing that very few Z3 Compacts have made it to Sony Website if any and there are not many in the Stores yet.

Store or their few Retail Outlets.

Is this a delayed or additional Production Run for ,USA

and might we see better Quality Control on these ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
It's probably just a combo of bad management on Sony's part and stronger demand than expected. I doubt they'd be revising the build in the middle of the US rollout. That would probably be more expensive than simply replacing defective units later on.

But you remind me... I must check my Z3c camera. My Nexus 4 camera does the pink blob thing in certain lighting conditions, and a bit of searching shows that pretty much every high-end Android phone has had a similar problem at some stage over the past few years -- I've read about it happening with Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Galaxy S5, S4, S2, and various HTC phones. I even read a review of the S5 in which some of the sample pictures had a nice pink patch in the middle! Sounds like it's a white balance issue exacerbated by the limitations of the crummy little lenses these cameras use (the wider angle the lens, the worse it probably is), so hopefully it can be fixed through software.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Borgus02:
Wow

So I ended up cancelling my order placed on 10/17/14 for the green model due to being sick of being jerked around. I hope this helps someone else out. I am just going to stick with my Note 4.

I check this morning, and the student store still says Nov 9 estimated ship date. The crazy ass part of this all is that the regular online store (non-student) says IN STOCK. Terrible.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] oryan_dunn:
I'm glad I waited. Not sure if I'll try to pick this up elsewhere, or wait until it is actually in stock. The price with the student discount and the $100 Sony card offer is almost impossible to beat.

Rule #1 in retail, don't piss your customer off when they are trying to buy your product. At that point, your engineering and marketing team have succeeded in convincing someone to buy your product (which is a lot of hard work). Then retail goes and f***s it up. It's no surprise Sony is hurting.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] VegasRooted:
Sony Card, etc.

Keep in mind too that you don't necessarily have to use the Sony card to buy directly from Sony to get the $100 statement credit (in fact any purchase on the card will get you the credit; gas, groceries, etc.); I actually used my newly-opened Sony card to buy the full-size Z3 from Clove in the U.K., and then after I got the $100 statement credit and paid off the balance, I closed the card.

The Marriott Rewards Visa card from Chase also offers a $100 statement credit after first purchase, so you can go that route too, if interested. I bought the black Z3 Compact (D5803) from B&H for $499.99 using the Marriott Rewards card, so technically I look at it like after receiving the $100 statement credit, the phone ended up costing $399.99. (with free expedited shipping and no tax!)

The $100 statement credits from both cards appeared surprisingly fast after my first purchase with each (within 2 weeks for the Sony card, and within 1 week with the Marriott Rewards card), which was really cool too!

Cheers,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 00bofh:
Skyfall 1.0 (T-Mob S5) security lag on boot...

Great ROM (responsiveness, boot speed, etc.) with two odd issues.

1 - Though I have a PIN set, on initial boot from either reboot script or from power off/on, the "Swipe to login" screen is available for approximately 45 seconds before the "lock" appears. This is a functional login and allows the phone to be accessed without the PIN (or password - I tried both). This is true with the "default" kernel, the Adam kernel and the KToonSez kernel.

2 - When connecting as a "Media Device" to a Microsoft based PC, I can transfer one (and only _one_) file while the "AutoPlay" pop-up is active. More than one file, or closing the pop-up results in a fully browseable device, that cannot be written to: "The device has stopped responding or is no longer connected..." error.

Any suggestions on resolution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] iB4STiD:
i would do this

1. flash latest t-mobile stock fw via odin .. flash recovery then clean install my rom

2. for pin on boot.. choose adams kernel in aroma :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 00bofh:
Skyfall 1.0 (T-Mob S5) security lag on boot...

Yup - tried that.

Complete wipe, re-image from Sammobile download (G900TUVU1BNH5), stock recovery flashed.

10 min stabilize - set PIN and no issue, PIN from boot.

ODIN install of TWRP 2.8.0.1 (gt-klte) recovery and wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache.

Reboot into System, 10 min stabilize, PIN from boot.

Wipe again (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data) and installed Skyfall 1.1 with the Adam kernel.

Swipe to unlock active for 45 seconds on cold boot with PIN set.

PIN active after either 45 seconds or screen timeout.

Same behavior for default kernel, Adam kernel and KToonz.

Am I overlooking /missing a build.prop setting somewhere?

Should have mentioned - this also happens on Skyfall 1.1.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Which variant of the Note 4 should I buy? I live in the states, but don't use the LTE coverage, but would be great to future-proof my device. I travel around the globe at times. I would rather have the warranty in the states than having a warranty belonging to some other country that I never travel to. If I had to go between the T-Mobile and AT&T version (obviously Unlocking these devices will incur an additional fee), which one should I buy? What about the International version? What are your thoughts. Please let me know. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JimSmith94:
T-Mobile give you free Wifi calling, international texts and data, $.20 international calls if you can't get on Wifi, plus free texts and voicemail in the air through Go-Go. That's why I'm getting it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NWNJ:
Thanks for the information. I too am considering T-mobile and just signed up for their test-drive phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
The previous answers seem to be talking about using a T-Mobile Note 4 and getting T-Mobile service. Your question's about which device would be the most versatile used both in the U.S. and overseas. Definitely go with international version. Samsung's UK site shows it supports both AT&T and T-Mobile's LTE bands as well as additional international bands neither of the U.S. phones support.

While you may be able to use a AT&T Note 4 on T-Mobile and vice versa their radios are optimized for the networks they are designed to be used on. I'm in an AT&T VoLTE market and can use it on my Note 3. A friend here using a T-Mobile N3 on AT&T can't using the same APN.

My current Note 3 is my first carrier phone out of a half dozen over four years so I have a lot of Samsung international device experience. I've only used them on AT&T and have no interest in T-Mobile as a carrier. They've performed fine on AT&T. But none of them got the same level of connectivity and data speeds as friends with AT&T phones when tested from the exact same locations. In the year I've had my AT&T Note 3 I've never had a network connectivity problem. With my international phones they'd occasionally lose connectivity and I'd have to reboot them to get them back on the network. Like when turning them on when landing at destination after a flight; they couldn't find the network on their own when moving from one AT&T network design (they're different by region through acquisition) to another.

I'm typing this on an international 3G N10.1-14. 90+% of the time I have no network issues and it works brilliantly overseas. Going with an international device is always safer than a carrier device because Samsung's international radios are generic. Every carrier's device has its radio optimized for their specific network. If you read the forums where people are using T-Mobile (and even Canadian phones) on AT&T it's not all peaches and cream. My recommendation is to go with an EU international Note 4 because of its generic support for a ton of global bands. I'd avoid Asian phones because their bands are very different as is the pre-installed s/w.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Thanks for a very careful and thorough explanation. Are there any ebay sellers selling the UK Note 4 version? How should I go about adding warranty? Squaretrade?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
I'd stay away from eBay. Most LTE Samsung devices sold there are Asian. The dollar's exceptionally strong right now. I'd buy it from handtec.co.uk if I were you. In fact, if I wasn't getting the Note 4 for free because I'm on Next I'd buy my Note 4 from Handtec too. You can even get it in bronze and be the first on your block. ;) Converted from GBP it's currently $806 including two-day FedEx shipping; that's cheaper than AT&T's $826 without tax. Because you're buying a UK phone in the UK Samsung's 24 month UK warranty is intact. You'll have to pay to send it there if it needs service but it's better than nothing. I had a UK SGS2 that had a cracked bezel and Samsung UK was very accommodating in repairing it. I'd get SquareTrade anyway and they'll cover an imported UK phone. The UK is also one of the first region's to receive updates so that's a plus too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Seems like Clove is able to take off the region-lock whereas Handtec is unable to. Do the UK LTE Note 4's support T-Mobile's Band 12. Seems like I just want as many bands as possible as you never know when you want to switch to another US Carrier.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I'm currently using an MVNO (PureTalk) that relies on AT&T's network; currently using an unlocked T-Mobile Note 2 in Mint Condition, soon to be sold. :D

I do see how the European Model N910F is more versatile and at the same time, most expensive if purchased in the states (~$1300) compared to the Korean LTE Variants and Hong Kong Exynos (910U) Variant. The T-Mobile units are available online for $~750.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Just to confirm, does Samsung consider the N910F to be an international unlocked Note 4?

I can't seem to tell what is the official International Unlocked version

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:
Hello, you surely already know about the 120fps-Recording of the Note 3. [TAGS TO THIS THREAD: SlowMo|SloMo|Record|Video|Speed]

Like (almost) any other Slow-Motion-Camera, there's something, that

really disappoints me!

What disappoints me:

If you record a Slow·Mothion-Video, then the Video will be saved as Slow Motion too!

-Better: Save in Original Speed and in the Player you can slow down - and choose if the Sound keeps the pitch-level while speed adjustment.

IF i record 4 seconds @ 120 Fps, then i want to get a 4sec. Video with 120·FPS.

and not a 16 seconds-video with 30 fps with lost sound.

What i'd like: Save in Original Speed and Includes Sound while Recording!

But even worse: If you get asked to edit the video after that - INFORMATION WILL BE THROWN AWAY!

Well... Xperia Z2 includes the Sound and the WHOLE Scene but the Slown-Down parts

The not-slown-down parts will be saved at normal framerate, so information gets lost.#

The Output file has 30 Fps.

But the manufacturers think, that all the people like the sucking method!

What you'd probably think right now:

Just play the Video at a higher speed in the Video Player!

My Answer:

Oh, i'm soo lucky, that 60 fps at real time is possible! With sound!

I simply want an output file without information loss.

Now what you'd think:

Well, that not-realtime-video which is slown down does have ALL Frames!

My answer - Well, yes... but then in the Video-Specs

What i'd simply wish:

If i record a Video (example: 00:00:10, 96 fps) then i want an output file with the SAME SPECIIFICATIONS.

What i don't want:

If i record a Video (00:00:00:10, 96fps) then i get a Video with a Length of 40 Seconds and 24 Frames per Second.!

NOW DON'T SAY:

Then

my answer

would(avtuallý ) be:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:
Read this post to avoid mistunderstandings...!

I Forgot to finish writing here!

Both Videos (RealTime@120fps) and SuckingSlownDown@30fps both have ALL Frames.

But the RealTime-Equivalent Video with REAL 120 fps is simply better!

Well, it's got 4x higher bitrate but is also 4x shorter.

So the Quality will be approxmintly the same.

If you see a 50fps or 60fps Video (real time), then you'll see how awesome smoothly it is!

120fps at 720p (1080p@ 120/100fps for LUMIX FƵ1000, great!) has a little bit lower resuoloution but runs even more smoothly.

Which mode you choose depends on situration.

4k is for detailed moments if 24-30fps is smoot enough but 60fps for a little bit more movier moments...

120fps is useless because there's no sound and the output file is slown doen.

120fps would be useful in some sitouarations, if the output file would have a RealTime-Equivalen-Speed (1.00x Plaýback Speed ≜ 1x Realtime Speed) and also sound, in the Full Microphone-Quality of the device(can do.!).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:
Did you know... ?

In (the )most more Advanced Players (Windows and Android) you can slow down playing. 0.125x/12,5%/⅛ Playback speed are also ⅛ in REAL WORLD.

In the Sucking method:

4x or 8x Playback Speed= Original Speed in the Reality. And no sound. I hate that.

[Hide="Did you know - ?"]So did

ýou

know? : that you can slow down in more advanced players? And they show those

REAL-TIME-EQUILEVANT

speeds. 0,25x Playback Speed= 0.25x Real-Time-Eq. Speed! Better method!

And it's quite stupid to think, that everybody likes a slown-down output file - and even without sound (mutid). Muted sound=lost sound information in [umgebung] and 4x playback speed = 1x Speed in Real world? -

„Oh no!“

But those manutfacturers think, that everybody likes it. What do you think of it? Simply post it![/HIDE]

So you just need to slow down inside of the player, to see all those small moves.

I find that(/this) better - ... ¡

I don't think so- every player

must have

a Feature for Slow Down, Reverse Playback:laugh: and Ƶoom while Playing/Pause/Preview Frame. (Rotation is very Funny.)

And it must have a Feature to adjust sound mode at Speedup/Slow down! (Keep Original pitch or make it Lower/Higher at Slowdown/Speedup.)

And it may also would be a good idea to use te trick in the Média Players, which one the High-Advanced SmartTV's - „Calculating“ the Frame(s) between 2 Frames. (Works almost perfect for flowent running text :):D:D).
