[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaOSoFt:
Hello.

You see, I currently have an LG G2, because I felt it was the best phone I could get at the time. But recently, after many drops, the screen finally cracked and half the touch screen doesn’t work.

I guess many of you would call it “normal”, especially if I drop it that much but, well... the thing is I hate myself for buying such a big phone, as slim as it is. Seriously, I was blinded by ALL the other cool stuff, and forgot I got kinda small hands. Even after several drops I didn’t want to believe it, but when the screen cracked, at that moment, I knew it. That phone is awesome in all senses, but the size is definitely against me.

Now, I’ve been reading about the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact a lot, since it’s practically all I will ever need, but I’m curious...

Since It’ll be released in my country at the beginning of December, should I get it? I mean, I’ve also noticed these companies got a hell of a short release cycle now, and I notice these chips it comes with have been out for a while, so... should I wait for a revolutionary Z4 Compact, or should I get the Z3 Compact now and be done with it? Once I get a phone, I’m practically married for life with them. I even barely change their ROMs because usually I get much better battery life and stability with Stock. Even for my HTC Desire I only started flashing it after year and a half.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

PS: I already bought the repair kit for the LG G2, but I will end up giving the whole thing away to a cousin, that’s why I’m looking for a new option. I never bought protector because, well, the phone would lose its slim profile.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
Yes, buy one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
you need a new phone, so buy the one that appeals most and is available now. Don't get sucked into the tech waiting game, because there will always be a new and better model just around the corner.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherdroid:
i have to agree, do not get into the tech waiting game, waiting for the next greatest phone. i will tell you after having this phone over a very short time, i;ll give you my thoughts...

- it's slippery as any phone in the history of phones

- the battery is a beast. the only reason i really left my Moto X (13) was because i need a full 16 hours of full on use without having to run back to a hotel to charge for 30 minutes. forget what any one says, take it from me, i use this phone for work and the battery is a beast. i would be at 14% on my Moto X by 8pm, it's now 11pm and im now at 63%. a beast.

- it feels rough and smooth at the same time. it definitely feels high end.

- camera quality and the video quality (even the 4k) is well... it's fine, just fine. it's definitely above and beyond any camera i have ever had on a phone. probably the best phone-camera you can get without going iPhone.

- sony pre-installed apps are not a problem and the 75% of them can be removed. i bought mine straight from sony so, no carrier logos anywhere and no carrier bloatware.

- i got mine in black. it always looks like it's doing something even when it's sitting still.

- i miss the 'always on' of the Moto but, not a big deal.

- speakers are decent, thought they'd be a bit louder, but call quality is exceptional. exceptional. (im on ATT in a big city on the east coast). i just yanked my nano-sim out of my Moto X and dropped it right in and instant LTE.

- i love it. and i've come from multiple HTCs (Desire, Sensation), the Galaxy Nexus, the Moto X. i've been waiting years to find a reason to get a Sony phone (i really want a Nokia Android). this model is everything i wanted.

- perfect size, did not want a 5"+ screen phone.

- again, the battery is a beast.

and the only real con so far... the Sony dialer just sucks. heh, it's really bad.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
It really is terrible. Every time I have to make or receive a call I cringe when I see that clunky design :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaOSoFt:
Alright, just ordered the White one. I was going to go Black, but in a lot of videos you could clearly see all nudges and fingerprints.

Offtopic question: isn’t there something to avoid fingerprints and such to appear all over a surface? I’m curious as if the anti-liquids sprays that are sold these days would repel them.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherdroid:
no. you'll get used to always having fingerprints. that's the beauty of this phone. it's too sexy to hold...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
There are sprays, but didn't read anything positive about them.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertkoa:
I have not used it on a phone but it stops fingerprints on

Stainless Steel and is a coating for glass.

It's called Raindance sold in Auto Stores it comes in a

Non Aerosol Spray

BUT do not spray onto phone, spray a little onto a lint free paper towel then rub on let dry buff lightly.

It's made for auto windshields, will work.

But DON'T SPRAY IT ON THE PHONE.

and close the Ports.

Put it on like a Polish.

Yeah , I have not bought the Z3 C yet either and I noticed that dialer screen is very stark and plain and.ugly...lol.

Can that be changed in Android L ?

Also on AT&T -(I would be on Metro /Tmo) are you getting text and MMS messages quickly ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaOSoFt:
Alright, got me a White one.

Even with Wi-Fi enabled, it almost hits the two days mark. I’m trying now with just LTE all the time and Wi-Fi only for application updates and stuff like that.

Thanks everyone!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liteon163:
Glad you got one. I too came from an LG G2, though mine isn't broken. Well, it was stuck in a boot loop after I tried loading a custom ROM, so I got the Z3 Compact. Now that I've recovered the the G2, I'm going to sell it off.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertkoa:
I don't have a Z3 C .....yet

BUT I strongly suspect that the Windshield Repellant Hydrophobic coating sold at Auto Stores called

Raindance will work well.

Spray on Lint free paper towel just Damp.

Do not wet down phone with it, use tiny amount, then repeat.

Again do not put liquid on the Phone.

Put on rag lightly or paper towel, then onto glass, wipe on, let dry, then rub with clean rag or paper towel.

It repels water and fingerprints .

When the first developer preview came out, there were problems with OpenSSL. Apps that needed to connect to https servers seemed to all suffer from the same problem.

Developer Preview #2 solved this, and I've run various AOSP builds on my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 9 where the issue seems to be gone. Today however, I decided to install the latest factory images on both devices and guess what? I cannot connect to SSL servers once-more.

Anyone know what the situation is here?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
How are you connecting? And what to? I only really connect to SSH tbh.

Hi,

Since I'm on the stock lollipop my battery is going like ice at the sun ! ....

at a normal use ...even not surfing .... I only got 12 hours ...

Is that the same for all of you ? What can I change ?....

Thx

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolqf:
The battery life for me slightly improved, keyword slightly. My guess, check the battery usage and see where the battery is being drained.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halloga:
I'm also getting longer battery life after upgrading to lollipop
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roastmeat:
How long?

Isn't it supposed to add something massive like an extra half-1 hour of on screen time?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil77560:
Hummm...so, I bet there's something wrong.

I did a clean install by fastboot.....

I Don't think there are special draining app ....anyway.... have a look :

Any Idea ? What about yours ?

Thx
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benbugohit:
A pity that wakelock detector doesn't work for the moment.

Yesterday, 1st full day using stock rooted lollipop, i had 22hours before battery fully drained, with 2:50h screen on time,

wifi & 3g activated, auto sync too, 2 reboots and apps installations.

You'll have an idea at the end of the day.

Also, if it drains, maybe because of "gadget" apps.

i know that stock email app in previous android versions is a battery-eater app.

Also, maybe check in your account settings the syncs activated and uncheck some.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil77560:
Strange....with kitkat I had the same settings...and I could use my nexus for more than a day

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbstryker:
You guys seem to be getting the wifi "miscellaneous" drain. The stock images were supposed to fix that (hence the delay). I would try a complete reset.

Super heavy battery drain!

Lollipop for nexus 4 seems to have so many issues.

Random openning of recent apps,auto brightness, extreme hot while using camera,battery drain on wifi.

lollipop really actually sucks.:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil77560:
Yes, I do agree...anyway, many peoples have good retourns with their N4 with lollipop .... why are there so many differences ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drjaiminpnchl:
is it the difference due to side load and OTA?

Do everyone who sideloaded Lollipop are having problems or with OTA also having same problems?

do let me know what can be done now!:eek::confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHero:
I flashed a stock image. And my battery is useless unless I turn on battery saver and 2g
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil77560:
Me again....

All is good for me now ... here is what I did :

- I downloaded the stock image once more

- I flashed it via fastboot cmd

- I rooted like this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56773036&postcount=1

- then I downloaded the TWRP img and flashed it with fastboot cmd too

Now ... I can Use my N4 for 2 days.....

Hope that helps

So ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnicesio:
I did it and I do not notice any problem with the battery for now. My Nexus is more fluid than ever and I can't find any different or any drain problem with the battery. I did something different with your procedure. After installing the root, the Franco Kernel and the TWRP I did a factory reset and I wipe the cache. For now I'm sticking with lollipop.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclaunch:
I am debating going for the nexus 6 or the G3. Normally I would be all over the nexus but with the recent unlocking of the ATT version of the G3 I a now torn. Has anyone left the G3 for the nexus, and can you tell me why you left? How did they each compare : screen, camera, quickness?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HankStorm:
Probably a little premature with the question since the first people are just getting the Nexu 6 delivered today.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
I'm coming from an OPO and G3, I'm not getting rid of either phone though lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclaunch:
Just wanted to get it out there early. See if any one wanted to chime in on why they are leaving the G3 or had any info that would be helpful.:D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinternot:
I have the G3 and can't decide what to do. This years round of phones was difficult.. they all had some kind of flaws. The only real flaw of my G3 is the lag. I have it pretty customized at this point and have gotten it to a very minimal amount. Standby time is awesome.. SOT sucks. I wish the screen temp wasn't quite so cold, and the over sharpening does get annoying to look at. Then again, knock code, IR blaster, removable battery and sd card, laser auto focus camera... ugh, such troubling first world problems.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I have both and in keeping both. I love my G3 and its fantastic camera. Both phones serve s different purpose for me but the G3 camera focuses faster than the Nexus r due to it's laser. I just got my Nexus so I can't fat to much else but I'll update you when I get more of a feel for it. It's a big phone but result manageable with my average sized hands. The screen isn't as bright as the G3 but it's easier to read on the sun for me. The Nexus also feels more solid to me and I love the size.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclaunch:
Cant wait to start to hear some real world experiences with the nexus!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclaunch:
I think I am leaning toward the Nexus just based on specs alone. The 805 paired with 3gb and 420 gpu are good enough to last for a couple of years I think. Coupled with the updates and I hope it will be a solid device. Just want to make sure. $700 is a big chunk of change to drop n a device and not be satisfied.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I had the G3 Cat 6 (SD805 model) and the regular SD801 G3. I sold the cat 6 one and got the Nexus instead. I love both phones but each serves a different purpose for me the nexus will take some getting used to but I really enjoy it. I don't think I could choose just one right now but the Nexus is faster than my cat 6 G3 so it's worth it to me. It also makes my regular G3 look slow. I've had a G3 since launch back in May (3 models total) and I wouldn't sell my last one because I like it too much. The nexus is great its a solid phone with a nice screen and good battery and I will be using this as my DD for now. I can't wait to get TWRP and custom ROMs because that's why I have the Nexus. I'm probably rambling on but that's just because I'm excited about using my Nexus 6( I'm typing this on it)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aboveusonlysky:
ill be leaving my g3 in the dust come wednesday. the battery life sucks really bad with the snap 801. i cant even tell you my Sot because i had to charge my phone twice today.

Lately ive had issues with the g3 where ill double tap to wake and/ or press the unlock button and it wont respond.

I also told myself when i got my nexus 5 that i would never get another carrier branded phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Double two to wake doesnt work on my nexus 6 but it does work on my nexus 9. I miss tapping to wake but both phones are still great.

No please continue rambling.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litrekid:
I've grown to hate my g3. The battery seems good to me. The screen and camera r great but it just lags way too much, the screen always turns back on after using the button to lock it. I've also had problems with data where I have to turn it off and back on to get it to work at an acceptable speed. Now the other day I noticed it has the famous crack at the bottom mic.

Motorola nexus has always been my dream phone and while I will miss a few features of LG I actually like and the ir blaster which I use all the time, I won't look back. My last nexus I was very happy with for 2 years and I think this will be a great phone. Can't beat Motorola build quality.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewMan4Life2010:
I've sold My lg g3 for The Nexus 6 it will be my first Nexus device. I loved everything about the lg g3 I brought it day one and didnt have any problems with it. I've been waiting on Motorola to make a Nexus phone. I will miss knock code,the laster auto focus,ir blaster,the way they had the power buttons and volume buttons. Also for the sd card but I brought a WD wifi drive for that problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
This benchmark is pretty good considering my phone was warm and charging when I tested it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
I'm coming from the G3. I like the 3 and think it's a great phone though. It has started to lag a little bit, but I'm running a lot of modules on it and those may be the cause.

The only real thing that I never liked about it was the colors. Both colors suck imo. The blue N6 sucks for the color too from what I've seen. So it's like an even trade.

The main reason I'm leaving it is because I'm on Jump and the N6 has a few features I want.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungGalaxyStig:
I'm also coming from the G3. I've had a great experience with the G3. I originally came from the G2 and the G3 was a great upgrade. I'm averaging about 5hrs SOT on the G3 and that's with constantly playing Clash of Clans. So I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'm running Darkwulfs Beta 2 BTW. It was an impulse buy while I was waiting for the Moto X and Nexus 6. But I have pre-ordered my N6 and can't wait to get it. Last year I was anticipating the N5 but jumped the gun impulsively on the G2. I did it again this year with the G3. Can't wait to have this behemoth any time this week. I just got my dad a Note 4 so I can't wait to compare the phones side by side along the G3.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
The Nexus 6 camera isn't as good as my G3 but in happy with it. I just ever a decent camera app like LG's for the Nexus and then I'll be happy.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungGalaxyStig:
I wonder if someone could port the moto x camera apk if and see if that could produce better pictures. I remember someone on the G2 forums ported the G2 Stock camera so it could be used on aosp. I used it on PA and CM and it worked well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I really want that because I hate the google camera. It won't install normally and there no root to yet so I can't move it manually to see of it will work.

Hey guys,

Is there anything that isnt available that is needed to compile pure android 5.0 from source?

Thanks :)

I would like to use a Galaxy Tab / Note Pro 12.2 as well, running pure AOSP or at least a "Google Play" edition.

Does anyone know how to extract the binary blobs (hardware drivers) from the stock Samsung image for this device?

That would be a good start for building up an aosp rom.

Hi, I need some help here as I cannot get WM6 on my Wizard.

My Wizard has a ROM version of 2.21.4.1 WWE and whenever I try to put WM6 on it, the updater program gives me error 300 and says it needs a new updater.

Now I have been looking around and i know I have to unlock the CID. The Sim is unlocked and I unlocked the CID using Lokiwiz 0.2. While doing this, i noticed it did give an error, but it did actually say it unlocked the CID and produced my backup and a unlocked CID BIN.

I tryed using the updater again and it gave me the same error (Error 300).

Can anyone advise me on what to do as I am completely lost...

Thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vippie:
Let me guess.... you got a G4 device. It can't be CID-unlocked through lokiwiz (don't believe it if it says it did CID-unlock). Look at the G4 thread on howto flash a CID-locked G4! Never flash IPL/SPL because you will brick you're device!

You find all answers to your doubts by looking into G4 thread initially. After, you find another sticky thread related.

[Xposed General] stammler:
Hi,

The touch screen/digitizer of my Nexus 4 registers random touch inputs at the bottom horizontal line. I had some hardware issues with the USB port, which probably caused these ghost touches... It is definitely a hardware problem and renders my phone unusable. However, if I could somehow disable the system from registering touch input events from the bottom line of the screen, that would fix my problem. I am happy to give up this horizontal line so that I can use my phone again.

I am writing to the Xposed community because I think this can be realized by writing an Xposed mod. I have written some Xposed mods, so I can write it myself. But I could need some help as to where in the system to hook the touch input events to drop those from the bottom line of my screen. So far, I could only find a place to hook in Android 2.x, see the following helpful posts: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11947653/android-key-handling-framework and http://seasonofcode.com/posts/inter...e-linux-kernel-and-the-android-userspace.html

But this propagation of input events has changed dramatically in Android 4 and the above information is not applicable anymore. I browsed the AOSP 4.x sources and tried to follow the input events but eventually gave up and thought maybe someone here just knows where to look/hook to drop input events from specific positions in the screen. The earlier the hook in the flow of input events happens, the better :)

Cheers!
