If you have locked bootloader, try to repair via pc companion, if unlocked, try to flash the right firmware
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratha ITC:
Flash any C6902 ftf, the problem with your network, wifi, baseband will be solved. By the way, do you still have your Z1 box? SI and IMEI number are on the label of the box. By knowing the SI number, you can find the exact customized version for your phone. Check this thread (Just in case). :)

Or if you dont want to unlock the bootloader then downgrade to. 108 firmware root install recovery then just flash pre-rooted lollipop and done.... Pre rooted lollipop's are available in general and Android development section's..

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

Install flashtool and install drivers, they are available in flashtool's installed directory

Test USB cable and drivers by connecting your phone to pc

firstly connect direct i.e. on phone

Second power phone off then hold volume down button and insert usb cable

Third similar to second but press volume up insted of down

If flashtool detects your phone in normal mode flash mode and fastboot mode then you are good to go...

Download and flash 108 firmware

Open flash tool click on lightning button browse your downloaded ftf

Click flash and wait a dialogue box will open with picture of phone in it

Once dialogue box appears power off your phone wait then press volume and hold volume down and insert usb cable

Immediately release volume button

When dialogue box disappears

Wait and disconnect and turn on phone when flashtool says so..

Once all set root your phone via easyroot method just google it..

Install nuts dual recovery also google it guides are available for both installation via windows

Now take ta backup via ta backup tool also google it it is very important do so

Now once all done open flash tool

Connect phone in fastboot mode i.e. power off phone, wait, volume up hold and connect usb, then release when identified

click on 'blu' button and insert unlock code provided by sony

If you dont have unlock code again google sony bootloader unlock and follow through sony's site

Now insert unlock code click on unlock

Congratulations you have unlocked the bootloader

Now download cm 12 rom and flash via twrp..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajdeep312:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] phoneowner71:
Hi

I'm pretty much committed to buying a Z3 Compact or the Z1 Compact as they seem to be the only smaller Androids out there.

I've noticed the price has dropped a little (£292 on Amazon) which I presume is something to do with the imminent arrival of the Z5 compact - do you think if I wait a little longer the price may fall some more?

And is the Z3C that much better than the Z1C?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Dsteppa:
It seems as if there will also be a z4c.

You might want to wait for that, but if you fancy a good camera Sony phones wouldn't be something for you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Jkay7:
Generally speaking I'm not quite sure how much the price of the z3c will fall with the introduction of the z4c.

However I'm curious about the overall performance of the phone: Do you think it is worth the buy?

And what is more, I've seen there is quite a struggle with the bootloader and with developers, but with official CM nightlies this should be fine, right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Dsteppa:
The price won't fall THAT much, but the recent price drop could be because of that.

The phone is still worth to buy for sure as for bootloader problems, they should be history now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
There is no real evidence of a z4 compact being released anytime soon. For now, pretend like it doesn't exist and get whatever phone you want. Besides, the rumors indicate the phone will only be a marginal upgrade: newer processor and increased screen resolution.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Tracy1988:
This is just my opinion and I don't intend to talk trash about Sony phones but I'm gonna just tell you like it is.

Just so you know, I'm in IT field (Windows) and I have a comprehensive knowledge about PC hardware tech. Since I switched to android from iPhone about 2.5 years ago, I had bought quite a few phones that included 3 Sony phones.

- ZR with overheat problem even only on browsing the internet with Chrome and very poor quality display (made with TFT) => RETURNED with 15% restocking fee.

- ZL Same poor quality TFT display => I ended up gave it to my sis.

- Z3C made with IPS but with poor touch panel. Annoying touch pattern grids are visible. IPS display quality of the Z3C is well below average even compared to the iPhone 4's. Camera is mediocre at best but all the hype makes me really look down on Sony - the only company who created TA partition just to put their crappy softwares on it and tied the bootloader with it. Not that I give a rat ass about losing its DRM functions, it's just that errors pop up here and there when I unlock the bootloader.

My other 2 Android phones are the Nexus 5 and LG Optimus E970. These 2 phones' displays are superb. I wish the Z3C has the same display quality as those 2. I love its size and battery performance but Sony mobile display sucks big time. Don't get me started on Sony bloatwares (2 ecosystems on 1 device is a joke).

I have many Sony devices in my home (laptop, bluray player, tv...) but when it comes to Sony phones, I'm sure next time I'll pass.

I bought my Z3C for $520 USD. It's still 99.99% new. I would sell it to you for $300 USD if you live in my area (I wouldn't buy it even for $300 though) ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cpurick:
Some of the cheaper Z3C listings in the US are for the D5833 overseas model. Be careful with this version, as it will suffer from limited 4G compatibility in the States.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] arturiu:
I have a D5803 running stock 5.0.2 and I'm very happy with the device.

It's compact, fast and battery lasts for 2 days minimum (if you don't play games).

The user interface is simple, fast and close to AOSP look&feel .

I saw no reason to hack the phone with custom ROMs or mods, since I found it to be VERY stable and basically everything works.

If you plan to heavily customize your phone, be ready to face some obstacles mainly due to the fact that Lolipop is quite new on this phone and mods are not yet perfect (although they are improving). I've gone that route before with previous phones, and usually the outcome is that you get some visual adaptations to your taste, but in fact the overall stability/performance will be worst.

Some may argue that the camera software could be better, and I tend to agree. But you will be able to take good pictures, if you use some manual settings.

In my experience, Bluetooth/NFC works very well with different gadgets/systems: hi-fi, Pebble watch, BT headphones (even using aptX), car system, ...

I haven't tested audio high-res external DACs, but some users report some devices are tricky to interface well using Lolipop. Other report their device works. Basic audio play is quite good if you have good headphones and choose the right eq settings.

Some users report the glass may crack due to overheating, and I saw many friends with other phones (like Samsung) suffering from the same issue. Mine is in perfect condition and I hope it stays that way.

In summary: I'm very happy with my gadget and I wouldn't change it for anything out there with similar form factor. And although Lolipop 5.0.2 is not perfect, I got used to it and don't see a reason to go back to KK. And 5.1 will certainly come...

Is there a perfect smartphone (hw+sw+UX+price) ? No, but in my opinion this one is a good step forward.

Oh, and if you don't want to fiddle around with connectivity issues, be sure to buy the phone that maps to your geography and operator (D5803 vs D5833) and use a ROM that was built for it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] fusk:
z4c would defiantly be a "want to have" but at a premium price point, that's why i picked z3c and i got a great deal. In my eyes it's the best phone on the marked atm. If you exclude all the minitablets which i have 0 interest in.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] skinniezinho:
I am in the same position as the OP.

I had some android devices (nexus s, gnexus, htc incredible s, nexus4, htc one m7), right now I have no smartphone.

Z3C seems the "right choice" except for a couple things:

1) Price: here in Portugal the lowest is 400eur. For that price you can also have: htc desire eye, galaxy s5, and a lot of other non-waterproof phones with better cameras and better screens, but also worse battery.

The Z1C is 100eur cheaper.

2) Camera: it seems that sony camera is not on pair with others, even with everyone saying that is software the truth is that nobody solved it.

3) Sudden death: there are some cases (see sony's forum) of sudden death phones.

4) Cracked glass: this I don't know if is hype or not.I had a nexus 5 and people said that it broken by itself but mine only broke by hitting the floor.

I guess that if the Z4C brings the Snappdragon 810 it won't be very good because of overheating and throttling...

Only option is to wait.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] phoneowner71:
Thanks for the replies.

For me the Z3C choice comes down to physical size.

I want a smaller phone but good specs, and as far as I can see there is no competition in the Android sphere (happy to be proved wrong).

I'll be keeping the phone pretty much stock until I need to start tinkering, so mods are not a problem for me currently.

I suspect the Z3C will have OS support for longer than the Z1C so that may make the £100 difference worth paying.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] TheEndHK:
http://www.whatsontech-compact-e5803-z4ultra-e6683-e6883-certification-details/

Z4c and Z4U are real coming and they already passed the certification process with the model number being leaked out. I guess they will out on Sep.

But if you are speaking for the battery life, Z3c with s801 and 720p will be much better. All I can think is Z4c will improve the camera software further(and also fixed the Z3/Z3c red/green/purple tint issue) and upgraded to FHD screen. I've got a Z1c, if you want a cheaper phone to wait Z4c then Z1c is still doing good. If you want battery life for all then go for Z3c now.

Hi All, I'm a long standing Windows developer who is dipping his toes into mobile development and Android, what is the preferred method of creating a form ( in Windows speak ) to enter / edit data. For example I have a database of contacts and I want to be able to create / edit them in a separate window. I know I can create a separate activity to do the work there but that seems overkill and also if I'm only editing three or four fields it would look ridiculous on a 10 inch tablet. I've looked at alertdialog and DialogFragment but I don't think they are meant for what I'm trying to do.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] Im Saint:
To be specific, are you asking how to make it look or how to code it?

From what I'm understanding, you're doing a DialogFragment as you've spoken--try customizing it.

Maybe if you mock up what you are trying to do we could give you a better option.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] Im Saint:
I would take a stab at an Alert Dialog. It sounds like you just want a new window/modal/form to pop up and have editable characteristics. I believe the alert dialog is the closest you will get without hand coding. You can always fake it by creating an animation that gives the appearance of a form.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] pkfox:
How could I do that ?
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] Im Saint:
The most simple way for me to explain would be to point you towards the 2D Graphics section of the Android Developers documentation. This is the best starting point.

I've had this happen before but it seems to be happening more frequently lately - twice this week. Anyone else have this issue? It happens both on and off the charging dock and is usually overnight when I'm not using it for a long period. It has become a problem because when it freezes my alarm doesn't go off to get up for work... not good. I have a 6806 with the GPe 5.0 scrubber port. Not sure if it's the ROM or an app or something else. Is there a way to record what processes are running before the freeze?
