[Xperia Z3 Compact General] L.R.G.:
Have done this with my 2 z3c. If your phone still holds the pressure test with the cracked battery cover it still will do that. it has a film on the backside for the waterproofing. When it comes to the cracking of the batterycase it is in my opinion the glue thats the main problem. since it is stiffglued all around with no support in middle I belive it takes a lot of the bodys work for stiffness.. so after cracking my workphone 2 more times, I found that using cheap ebay glass and gluing it with a flexible glue like tec7 or simmular, and adding a little on the battery to, the phone now has a more robust feeling. dropped it quite a few times (used 2-3 tempered screen protectors that have cracked), but no cracks. it is still waterproof, (tested diving 3meters).

So in my oppinion it is worth doing your self...

Sorry my bad english... :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] punktnet:
Yeah, i would have it replaced by myself, but they offered to do that free of charge.

Anyway, i'm not into using it underwater, so doesn't bother me.

By the way, it's ok with pressure test.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
That is actually twice as deep as what the phone is certified for, so I definitely would not recommend that you take it that deep more often.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] myhrdak:
hello

sorry for bringing this old thread up, but my backplate cracked a few days ago.

i´ve ordered an orange backplate but thats a few steps darker than the original

"mandarin red" from the phone.

does anybody know where i can get the original oem backplate mandarin red,

or maybe a third-party-backplate with exactly the same mandarin red color?

thank you
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lenteenes:
You can find the origina parts at WWW.HCQS.CC
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] myhrdak:
you're joking man, this website has ZERO products for z3 compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Guids:
After my phone went to sony for repairs, the backcover was not reassembled properly. I was able to push it back into place, but the adhesive did not do a good enough job to keep it there. I decided to buy an adhesive sticker from eBay.

I did the reassembly myself. Very easy to execute. Given it proper heath from a hair dryer and a little bit of force. The result was good, for two days, now the back cover is slightly coming loose again. Might be bad quality adhesive. In any case it sucks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bandario:
My experience with replacing the backplate (3 times) is that even the rear covers on ebay claiming to be genuine are not genuine.

Last about 2 weeks after replacement and will crack from just bending down with it in your pocket. Frustrating. Why build a phone out of glass? I don't know.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Guids:
Has anyone glued the back cover with other adhesive then the appropriate sticker? My cover keeps coming off. Suggestions are also welcome.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] StaticGTF:
The Sony OEM part should come with a 3M adhesive already attached to it. Mine did at least and all I did when replacing the broken back was to heat the sides, lift with a guitar pick and peel off any residual adhesive still found on the phone. Replaced the back with the new part, warmed it a little and laid it under a few heavy(ish) books until cold. My phone is still waterproof, as tested with both water and the built-in test.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bookworth:
ˇthere are successful reports of silicon glue.

the glue you are using should be flexible - and super glues have certain rules. however, after using super glue, you can not open the back easily for eg replacing battery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
Hello all :)

I too have had a broken backglass - happened after a drop from knee hight to the floor where it hit the corner.....

To save the money - and since the 2 year warrenty of my phone is almost up, I decided to fix the backglass by my self.

It is really easy - and cheap to do, but the trick is to get the new backglass to stay on...

I have tried 4 times now, but the glass starts to gap very soon - mostly already the next day... I have only tried with the backglasses found on replacebase.co.uk (Their service by the way is the BEST I have ever met - so I can recommend to shop there in the future if you need anything) and from etradesupply - meaning the ones that are not original...

I followed the guides but still the backglass with adhesive came off. I the tried a backglass with silicone holded with clamps around the edges for 24 hours, but the first night in use by backglass cracked in the dock while charging....

Yesterday I tried again - still focused on silicone - since I know it will hold, hopefully it will help with waterproofness (it aparantly did not...) so I took the cracked glass off (not so easy since it was glued with silicone) and scraped the old silicone off my phone which was actually not that difficult.

Before I glued the new glass on again I tried to put it on the phone without any glue and THEN I noticed what might be the whole problem with backglasses cracking all by them selves and people not being able to get their new backglasses to stick...

The glass could not touch all the edges around the inside of the phone on the same time!!!

My battery has some foil around it and there was a big airbubble trapped under the foil!

I therefore took a pair of scissors and cut a hole in the foil (if you look at the battery I cut off the trashcan :angel: ).

I then used silicone again and used a wooden block the same size of the plate on top and a bottle with 2 liters of water to make the pressure even around the backglass.

Today I put the phone in the dock and have had it charging all day long - 8 hours now - and there is no cracked backglass :good::cool:

(Of course as allways if you decide to cut a hole in your battery foil it is your own responsibility...)

guys my experience today from changing the back cover that i took off the camera protector thing and i noticed a huge improvement with a naked lens my camera is much better now i`m feeling satisfied with it it was all blurry and annoying now its Very GOOD!!

and am planing to use some strong glue since it went off.....
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] johnboatcat:
I will second the observation of air in the battery bag.. It was holding my back cover up.. Pin hole release of the air/gas and the original cover sits back in place and stays.. This happened after extended camera shoot and then recharge of battery.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
I did exactly this with the clamps before I noticed the airbubble in my battery and that sadly resulted in a new cracked backcover...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kwaille:
I've repaired 4 times brocken battery covers, double sided tape is always bad quality.

The only thing that worked for me is B7000 glue (handle with care, surely toxic...), and 2 days with clamps or what you want.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alvian_P:
I use b7000 to, and now still waterproof
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sean09:
Anyone with feedback on replacing the battery? How did you remove it from the motherboard safely given its tightly glued?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bookworth:
if you haven't done it before, then don't. if you still want to then patience. you can always turn to some technical workshop that could help you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alvian_P:
spray with electronic cleaner. it will easy to remove glue

Hi,

So my G2 (completely stock) has been great for the past year or so until recently.

Now, when I hit home, it often will stutter for a second or two to redraw all the icons. It seems in general the performance has dropped alot. I'm wondering if the problem is the RAM is being eaten by something, but when i check the app manager there is usually around 500 MB free.

It got so bad that swiftkey was lagging on keystrokes (i would type then wait a few seconds as a bunch of letters finally appeared) and I had to go to the stock keyboard.

When I am in a game however, the performance seems normal.

Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this?

Thank you!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
This sounds normal considering you've been running it stock for a year. Sometimes it's good to do a factory reset and start fresh when things get laggy. Reboot if you haven't and see what it's like.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsjet:

Any suggestions for saving app data without root (so i dont think i can titanium backup).
[Networking] MrCes:
Ok guys im in a situation and was wondering if any one can help me .I've been on my coworkers 7 line account on att 2 of the lines are mine and are under a 2 year plan.I got the phones at a subsidized price and not under a NEXT plan.He recently has come under some financial problems and cant pay his end of the bill.I been on time with my payments but im afraid of getting my service turned off.So im going to move my line to a prepaid mvno , but i hear that if i do that and his account isnt paid off that my phones will be blacklisted .I thought that was only the case with phone bought under a payment plan .So my question is there any truth to that or does it only apply to phones taken out under a next plan ?
[Networking] zelendel:
Yes they can still do it. The next plan is still a subsidized device. If the Account isnt paid they will black list the device.

Huawei Honor 6 Plus very likely using metal frame, very looking forward to the release of honor 6 plus.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] warea:
It is for sure metal frame. Clearly noticeable from pictures on TENNA. Makes sense also because one of the design comments many reviewers had made about the Honor 6 is that it had a plasticy frame that made is seem less premium, but me personally find it comfortable and ergonomic to hold than the metallic frame.

My N6 is connecting to my Asus AC, 5GHz, at amazing speeds:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makpr:
Hi,

*hint*, I discovered this myself because I cannot see that this it's documented elsewhere, for some reason the Nexus 6 only see the higher 5ghz bands, from channel 149 to 161, if the ap/router it's on the lower band, channels 36 to 48, the phone will not see it. Check if your ap/router it's using the lower band for 5ghz a/n/ac and that might be the problem, just change it to an "upper" channel.

hope this helps,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolovelust:
Thanks, are you talking about "Wirelss Channel" or "Extention Channel"? on My "Wirelss Channel", 116 is the highest I can set, on "Extention Channel" I have "lower-lower"...."upper-upper"

EDIT: It seems channel depends on the country. I cans et it To USA and get channel 149. Since I am away I can't test it with the Nexus 6 yet but why wouldn't it connect the rest? Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makpr:
I searched again and have not found any documentation regarding that, must be a bug, there it's not reason for the wifi radio to be frequency "capped", unless they have not completed the wifi certification for that specific country/frequencies, I suggest that you open a support case with motorola to see what they say about that,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolovelust:
Solved, motorola said reduce the channel number on your ac wifi to below100, which worked
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makpr:
Hi, [MENTION=271803]nolovelust[/MENTION], just out of curiosity, what channel did you end up using?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolovelust:
52, it was the first one below 100
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aes512:
Channel 153 (5.765GHz) works very well, with 80+80MHz lower+upper. The phone's wifi chipset/firmware/something doesn't like 149 and a couple of others on the higher spectrums, although I haven't tested regdomain tweaks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolovelust:
Not sure, Motorola specifically said Google decided that Nexus 6 would only support up to channel 100
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makpr:
[MENTION=271803]nolovelust[/MENTION], there are two versions of nexus 6, XT1100 -> international and XT1103-> "Americas" sku, the one I have, that like upper channel 153, it's a XT1103, maybe you have the XT1100 international version?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tonyzman:
Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the native (4.4.2) camera time-out setting?

I'd like it so my camera app doesn't turn off until I manually close the app, or after ~10 minutes.

:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] scorchedsky:
You can use the xposed module App Settings to force the screen to stay on when the Camera app is open, that should do the trick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
That won't work. It closes itself no matter what. It has it's own built in timer when it stays open.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tonyzman:
Ya, I figured it was built-in ?. I was hoping someone out there might have figured out a way around that by now (the camera app has had that same auto close function since at least Jellybean).

I know there are probably ways to open the app (again) by voice, but then, of course, it reverts to default settings, which doesn't help me much if I changed a configuration ...

Bummer. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Its been on my "list" but not at the top. I don't encounter this to be an issue for myself, so it hasn't been priority plus I completely forget about it when I have free time. If I get around to it, I'll probably create an xposed module to disable it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tonyzman:
Ya, a module would be really cool for this particular problem.

Any idea if Lollipop's camera is the same?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Probably, but no xposed for lollipop. However we can always smali edit it.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I'm just wondering... I know the summary says LED3, but I'm wondering if they're mutually exclusive. The summary also says the One M8 comes in 16GB and I've never seen that, so I don't fully trust the summary to start with.

What I'm really asking is, am I doing my M8 any favors by using app settings that blacken as much as possible to save battery on AMOLED screens? In theory it sounds like it would work. But it seldom looks as good as other themes. And frankly, with a decent ROM/Kernel combination, this battery can pull two days, so, why not, you know? Still, I'm wondering if there's a benefit at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] drewcam888:
No it does not have a amoled
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
It's a super lcd screen.

32 gb phone is the only one available through Verizon. The 16 gb model is the base model for the international version. It definitely exists.

You can't get the screen as dark as an amoled screen and running dark themed apps won't save a significant amount of power compared to light themed apps. All you can do to save power display wise is to lower the brightness.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
If you're S-OFF you can enable normal power saver which you can run all day and it not limit you to a few things like extreme power saver does.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] maxpower7:
If you've ever used a phone with an AMOLED display, it should be immediately apparent that the M8 doesn't have one. This is probably the nicest LCD I've used, but the saturation and contrast still can't compare to AMOLED. An LCD will use the same amount of power regardless of what it's displaying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
I never saw an Android device with a burned in screen until I had to borrow an SGS3 right before I got my M8. I'm an LCD fan these days. I'll take more honest colors over contrast. It's easier on my eyes. The only HTC I know of that came with an AMOLED was the original Incredible, and even then only for the first year or so. After that they began using Sony SuperLCD screens, of which the M8 has the 3rd generation of that screen.
