I haven't had any issues and my T-Mo G3 is still on Kit-Kat.

Best practice if pairing gets wonky or whatever, is exactly what you did. Clear / Forget all pairings. Turns everything off. Turn phone on, enable BT, run Android Wear, turn on Watch - wait - follow regular steps and everything should be golden.

If it's still not working, try a reset on the Watch - if it's still won't work, RMA or take it back to the place you bought it from.

I'm on lollipop on both watch and phone and getting constant disconnections

I will say that my rom is a leaked version of lollipop from Samsung on my note 3

But to date since Xmas it's been a joke

To the point that it might be going back if it doesn't get fixed in the next few days

I am going to go back to official kit kat later and see if that helps

I must say before the lollipop update on both watch and phone it worked brilliant not one disconnection when I trialled the watch when it was first delivered.

If it had been like it is now I would have sent it back there and then

I'm just hanging on because I know it did work prior to the updates

So I'm sure it will again
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
Hello,

I just got the update. So I know someone with an iPhone 6 on Verizon. They say they have it enabled and I went to settings to enable it on mine.

1. How do I know if I'm making a VOLTE call?

2. Will the two phones automatically know that they can connect VoLTE?
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
OK - nothing additional required other than activation. I called someone on an iPhone 6 and it says HD when I call.
[Verizon LG G3] gatorstew:
With that said, how do you go about placing a video call. Can't find the option anywhere in contacts or dialer?
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
When you dial the number it has an overlay to set up the video call. The person would also have to have VOLTE for it to work through the dial function.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jcitron:
First, thank you to anyone willing to give me some advice.

Today while using my tablet it randomly restarted and was stuck at the "swirling balls of light" for a couple minutes. I held the power button to turn it off and then restarted it except not it was stuck at the black screen with the Google logo. I can get to the recovery console but any option I choose other than "power off'" just takes me back to the Google screen.

I tried the WugFresh toolkit using Flash Stock + Unroot with the soft-brick option and it finished in under 10 seconds with some failures due to the bootloader being locked. I tried the toolkit's recommendation and ran it again in "force flash" mode and this time it lock up at "erasing cache".

I should say I'm not rooted and I received the newest update about 2-3 weeks ago.

Any advice?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fastscud:
Hello,

Is there any difference between power-off then power-on, and power-off then soft-reset?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
No difference if you mean a true power off i.e. a long press on power button until the message pops up, not just a quick press. I suppose soft reset is like a restart on PC and true power off is a shutdown.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fastscud:
Hi Mike,

Yes, by 'power-off' I mean actually holding the power button for several seconds to turn off the device.

The reason for my question is that I saw, for one of the hermes hacks (sorry, can't remember which one), some instructions that say power off the device, then do a soft-reset, after installing some cabs for the hacks.

Anyway, I figured they are the same as well.

cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yes that's a bit of overkill. I know why they say this though. Lots of folks complain because they make a registry change followed by a soft reset and the changes thay have just made disappear on re-start.

When registry changes are made they are not written back for some time - say a few minutes. This means that a quick soft reset and you lose all your changes. However using the long press power-off forces a write back to the registry and thus saves the changes. (Alternatively wait say 10 minutes and do a soft reset - but why wait). I can't personally see the point in following up with a soft reset - unless someone can think of a reason.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fastscud:
I see, that clears it up. Thanks Mike!
[G3 General] :
Hey guys. Well, I got the international G3 unlocked and off-contract last weekend and ended getting a post paid plan later just for the LTE. I don't know why, but I'm experiencing extremely slow speeds like 0,5 Mb. I don't know if it's the phone or the carrier (I have another LTE phone in the house, but it uses nano-sim, so I can't try on it). Has anyone ever heard about something related? I called my carrier and they say everything is perfectly fine with my line. :( :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhizzWr:
Hi folks, I liked my HTC One M7, I've been using it for 1 year but recently it has to go to to repair because the camera went purple-tint and vibration motor is dead. Based on my experience local technicians has notoriously sloppy work, so I don't expect this phone will be running trouble-free until my biannual upgrade cycle. So I want to sell my One for a new phone while it still has considerable resale value.

I don't think I liked the bigger-is-better screen hip (One is my biggest phone so far), Being able to operate phone with one hand is definite must for me. So HTC One M8 and Nexus 6 should be out of picture. After a bit of research among the crowd of mini-edition of flagships I think Z3 Compact would be a good candidate.

I used Xperia Pro in the past and I liked Sony build quality mostly.

So HTC One former user, what do you miss when upgrading to Z3 Compact?

I have already thinking about a few downsides:

1. (1080p 4.7 in vs 4.6in 720p), also reportedly Z3C compact has issue with collor accuracy and viewing angle

2. Metal vs plastic -- boy I love my One metallic feel and look, but I guess tempered glass and polycarbonate plastic are classy in its own right?

3. IR Blaster - absolute gem for the lazy me. AC, TV, Stereo with One phone to rule them all (pun intended)

4. Speaker - Both has front firing stereo speakers, but it appears One gain the upper hand?

And of course a few niceties:

1. Waterproof.

2. Smaller footprint with essentially same size of screen.

3. Better processor

So what do you think folks? or should I wait for Z4C which basically will come to my country in mid 2015 (back to bi annual cycle)?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxhunter123:
Honestly if you don't need the waterproofness then you are just as good staying with the M7 (all though the camera on the Z3C is better)...

I had the M7 for a year too and in everyday use the M7 is matching the ZC3. I like the size of the Sony better though and you will not miss the full HD screen should you choose to do the change anyways...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snwman:
Put it in respective for you. I had the m8 and was unlocked and s off. Speakers where giving trouble due to work conditions with dust. Changed to the z3 compact and thought I'd miss having root and customs roms. But I'm not I love the size and feel of the phone. And I'm getting 2 days use of the phone which never happened with any android I have. I'm a heavy user though.

Cell reception and WiFi is better than the m8 as well and both are unlocked from factory
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkarvan:
Hi mate,

i "upgraded" from M7 to the Z3C. here some infos:

1) i personall find the diplay quality and resolution great with the z3c, i have no complains about the angle or colours, it looks perfect for me.

2) the z3c feels very quality, the "plastic" at the sides looks good and fits perfect with the glass front/back. if its too slippy for you, just buy a cheap rubber case.

3) i didnt need it, as i use a app via wlan for my receiver from the provider

4) the speakers from the M7 are definitely better, the speaker from z3c cant get be that good, as they more turned inside for waterproof. its its loud enough. you have an build in equilizer (the m7 just a switch for Beats Audio), with z3c you have multiple surround modes, sudio modes, effects, bass boost, profiles etc.

The Z3C seems to be more fluend in the user interface, buts that personally. i bought it because of his size.

Only buy it if the size of the M7 doesnt fit to you and keep it mind that the M7 has plenty ROMs and Kernels, but the Z3C has near nothing and you risk lose of DRM keys if you unlock Bootloader.

I would flash the Google Play Edition@M7.

So its not an "upgrade" its more a "switch"
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouds5:
Z3c is the phone that never gives you anything to think/worry about. It's just there, always ready (up to 3 days use for me) never too big to hold, never too small to read. It never annoys you with unlock lag or stutter while using it, even the camera with its dedicated button feels just good...

With my previous phones I always tried to tinker around and improve this and that. With my z3c I never had that urge. It works just the way I expect it to. If I haven't made myself clear enough: I love it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
I agree with all of them here.

Though i would not consider it a necessary upgrade as you already have a nicely running, fast phone.

In your place i would wait at least for the announcement of the new Z generation. If there is a Z4 Compact, i would take a look at the specs and see if it fits your needs. Maybe it gets a metal frame again? Maybe it will get an IR blaster?

I dont think Sony will make their compact series much bigger.Maybe thinner and lighter?

Also the waterproofness will probably stay as it is heavily advertised as such.

I own the Z3C, my roommate the M7, so ill talk about it a bit.

I cannot handle the One with one hand. So in handling and feeling the Z3C wins by far. Just using one hand and being able to do anything is just plain awesome.

720p is enough for this screen size and will consume less battery. you cant have it all ;). Compared to the M7 I only notice the slightly bigger screen.

The screen is bright and sharp, i dont know why anybody really cares about color accuracy on a smart phone. Hell im not doing photoshop with it. Viewing angles are okay, not the best but again , most of the time you are the sole consumer of its content. I dont find myself looking at videos with another person often enough that this may in any way pose a problem or annoy me. Only funny thing i noted is that the screen turns black when i hold my phone in landscape mode and look at it with polarized sun glasses. Funny, must have to do something with the screens technology.

Battery life is very good, like twice the One (though i dont know how his phone is configured, if at all).

Speakers are totally fine but again you have to question what you really need them for. Calls? sometimes. Gaming? Jeah but who REALLY listens to the (mostly annoying) sound when immersed in some heavy gaming. Music? Hell no, I would start to hate my own music, but ppl are different. But in the end you are right the One delivers better especially at higher volume levels.

Phone fells well made and classy, no downside to metal except the One fells more sturdy, the Z3C a bit more need-a-case-fragile. I wont do the real testing though ;).

As the announcement will happen in the foreseeable future, I would at least wait until you get your phone back from the repair ;). In my country HTC gives away new phones pretty quick under warranty repair, so maybe youll get a new one. This again could give you a nice resell value.Though i dont know if your repair is under warranty or not. ;)

In the end if I were you i would stay with the M7 a bit and see what the future brings. The resell value of your M7 will drop but so will the price for the Z3C. The ONLY reason i see for you to switch to the Z3C is really the footprint/size and only then when it really, really annoys you. I would never go back and consider myself having found the perfect size in a smartphone with the Z3C.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhizzWr:
Fair enough, I would take your advice if only my HTC One weren't going to repair. :(

Cool, I had trouble getting a consistent signal with my One on certain sport, whereas my old Xperia pro is doing just fine. Battery would be a plus

Agreed, when I say "upgrade" it means switch to a more recent phone; built it OEM equalizer sure is nice, I have been fan of Sony's customization since the Mega Bass Era.

Yeah the problem is in my country there is no such thing as "new replacement" (we have weak to non existent consumer protection law). Everything is going to be repaired if possible, even 1 weeks old item. My repair is still covered under warranty, but the problem is loca technician works are sloppy, this is not isolated to HTC, I have experienced this kind of service with various official brand-name repair shop (laptop, tv, phone). In fact my HTC one is returned with a faulty volume button, just yesterday. (I kinda have predicted something like this would happen). So I have to return it back for re-repair.

I hope you get the idea, say if If I wait for Z4 compact I'm honestly afraid if my One decided to act up again in the future (which is likely thanks to imperfect repair job). The repair cost would diminish the resale value! So better be safe than worry, get a new phone, be it lower spec but I have peace in mind.

I can't agree more with using a phone one handedly and doing another things with the other hand. That said I can handle One with one hand just fine.

It isn't terribly nice coming from a good screen to less than good screen, IMO. Regarding speakers in some emulated console game such as Pokemon and Zelda, music and FX are awesome elements.. so nice speaker is nice ;)

--

Everyone, thanks for the input.. more or less I get the picture of the pros and cons. Anything else I should know before I bite the bullet?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
I think you are good to go. :) I also think you wont notice the "downgrade"as regards certain aspects as screen and speakers except in described scenarios. Ignoring the Ir blaster issue of course. Get Nova launcher to get rid of the Sony ui, get a tempered glass Front screen protector a magnetic charger (the "annoying " flap opening for charging was not discussed) and a micro sdcard if you need it and you will be fine. And ensure your phone is water proof with the pressure Sensor Test right when you get your new phone. At least that's what I would do.

Would be Nice to hear your impressions afterwards (since I think you already made up your mind about the switch :) )
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2kfire:
no regrets (almost...)

The M7's display is still one of the best. I definitely notice a difference, but the Z3c's is sharp enough that I dont miss the extra pixels. The Sony's DPI is better than my Nexus 7 (2013), which is more than fine for me.

Metal v. Plastic, meh, I prefer that the Z3c doesn't have the sharp edges of the M7. The Sony feels MUCH more comfortable in-hand. As for durability, just don't drop it and you'll be fine ;)

I do miss the IR blaster, but I only used it occasionally. Besides, I have a Harmony, so I'm ok with the loss. You might not be though!

The Sony's speakers are really good, even great, but the M7's are in a different class. On my Sony, the speakers are close to if not as loud as my M7, but the M7 is definitely clearer, with more bass. However, I rarely listen through the speakers. In most situations there are others around me, plus earphones are just so much better anyway, so not a big deal for me.

For me, the SD slot of the Z3c outweighs the better speakers and screen on the M7. 16 gigs is enough for my music and apps. I use a 64 gig card for videos/photos. Feels great! I know the M8 has an SD slot too, but it's just too big for me.

Another big thing for me is the waterproof rating. With kids, being able to take pictures anytime, anywhere is a huge benefit. Now, I can do it with my phone instead of having to carry a waterproof camera.

The only regret I have after making the switch, is that the M7's flashlight app is better, with the 3 brightness levels. Seriously. That's it. For everything else, I'm loving my Z3c!

I'm trying to figure out which case to buy. I bought two spegin cases. The slim armor I liked in terms of protection, but I hated the buttons on the side and how slippery it is. Also, the kickstand seemed low quality. The other one is just not offering the protection I need. I'm in a toss up between these two. Let me know what you think. I need enough protection to keep it safe, but not bulky.

If you're looking for not bulky. Look into ringke slim black or max.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] unregistered825:
Ringke slim, sf black.

It's got a great profile and full case protection against scratches. Might not be the best case to protect the phone from high drops though.

Cruzerlite or TUDIA those are my two favorites , both are thin TPU cases and very durable!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] radeon962:
Tried both the Spigen Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid and did not like the extra bulk as its wide enough already. Bought a Dbrand skin for the back only and its perfect. Adds just enough texture so its not slippery but does not add any size to the specifically in width.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jmcn72:
agree totally with you. i ended up with just a Skinomi matte skin. if an ultra slim clear or smoke case comes out which gives some grip but keeps the looks especially the visual of the Midnight blue back and metal sides i might reconsider. until then i'll be ultra careful!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
If you're looking for a case without bulk, then get the Ringke SLIM SF Black. More grip and adds no bulk.

Although, Ultra Hybrid doesn't add any bulk very minimal in my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] radeon962:
A tacky feeling, clear skin would be very nice.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] KB112:
I ran the Ringke Slim SF black for 2 days. Then my Spigen Slim Armor arrived. To be honest, the Spigen isn't impressing me that much. It makes the device feel bulky and it doesn't provide the grip the Ringke did. I might return it and get a different case with kickstand.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
Spigen cases have let me down, I had both the ultra hybrid and slim armor and didn't like either one. I have a ringke fusion which I like, and I have a pure gear slim on the way.

How "grippy" does it feel? How is it on fingerprints? Does it make the phone feel bigger?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] OldManJax:
There is definitely a lot more grip than without it. The sides are nice and grippy and the back is less smoother than without it. It does not make the phone that much bigger. It adds a tad bit more weight to it making it fell a little more solid in your hands.
