If I didn't already have my S6, I would jump on that blue topaz in a heartbeat. It looks amazing in photos. I have not seen it in person, but I may trade/sell my black S6 when I do :cool:

yeah I waited about 1 month extra for the Blue Topaz, I hope they keep this color for coming Galaxy's :D

Believe me it's the best color. My friend sold his black edge to get the blue topaz

Isnt it too tacky? Its a little too blue and i feel that after a little while it may become too much no?

View attachment 3363124 I bought the Blue Topaz S6. It is absolutely beautiful and the best version in my opinion.

i didnt find it tacky compared to say gold.... boy i really didnt expect to like it so much pics dont do it justice
[Galaxy S6 General] ScottyNuttz:
It sure is. I wish they offered it at launch/on AT&T at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ariozo:
Blue is the best, got the Edge right away when it came out here and have use it for a while. But blue was always my favorite when they did show the colors. And now when they did get few blues where I live i could not resist the color, and now after some time on the normal s6..

I can say that only the color on my blue s6 is worth it over my edge and it's factor.? Good thing is I even get better signal from my normal s6 than my edges, and I got 2 so can't be bad ones both of them.

But if you like the blue from pictures you have to see it live, even more nice in the hand.

I just got my Blue topaz today, it's beyond stunning. But it wasn't love at first sight. When I unboxed mine this morning I thought it was kinda strong, too blueish. But now man I keep taking it out of the case and I just look at its beauty. It's amazing how it looks.

Hello everyone,

Just bought a 2nd OnePlus 64Gb for the misses. After unpacking and booting up i noticed it is running the latest CM11s version. I looked into the settings/about phone just to compare the data with my own OnePlus One.

In the memory section i see a weird difference:

Mine shows: Memory 2879 MB

Hers shows : Memory 1867 MB

[IMG="1867 Mb RAM"]http://i57.tinypic.com/34sjqcg.png[/IMG]

Oneplus One 64 Gb showing only 1867 Mb of Ram

Hello there, I do agree, have same thing showing 1867 Mb Ram, but got it with a bit different way.

First of all i did have xnf9xbs28k build, which was intended for software engineers, but it was out of the box version. No OTA for it, so i did flash XNPH33R and updated it to XNPH05Q Incremental update, as suggested buy

forums.oneplus.net/threads/xnf9xbs28k-ota-updates.315441

Before the update CPU-Z suggested that I had 3 Gb, but now only 2 Gb.

Any ideas where did that 1 Gb lost itself?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alatariell:
Weird stuff m8. I guess Oppo is running low on stock since alot more people getting their phones delivered with engineering software :(

To continue on topic.

I did the following for now:

- flash (through ADB) XNPH33R, no difference, still 1867 mb shown

- flash (through ADB) XNPH44S, no difference, still 1867 mb shown

- flash (through ADB) cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L, RAM isnt shown anymore in device info so i installed CPU-Z to compare it against my own device (slimkat 4.4.4)

I just installed cpu-z on both devices. Here is the screenshot comparison between both devices, left my own, on the right the wifes:

http://nl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=rhv490&s=8#.VXygLZqarw8

Is this in line with what you are seeing? My 1st reaction by seeing this is that it looks normaly on CM 12S compared to my own device. Slimkat has abit more ram free even though it all my apps installed (and greenified whats possible, no system apps though).

Gonna test abit more and revert the device now to XNPH44S, install TWRp and the slimkat and compare again.....
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alatariell:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Hi everyone,

I'm using the xiaomi mi2 today and all in all happy. It got wet and screen is broken so I have to think of an alternative soon before it dies completely.

I came across the Z3c and was charmed by the similar size and great battery life.

I kind of disappointed it only have 2gb ram, okay camera, no ir.. But it's very good looking water resistant phone.

My limit is 5".

I thought maybe to wait for the z4c because of the 1080p screen, 3gb ram probably but kind of stressed by the fact it will host the problematic 810 snapdragon,which warms up AZ everyone in the Internet reports.

Should I buy it now or wait? Would you buy it today even that its almost one year out, and maybe there's better options today?

I'm also a bit amazed I can't root the phone without losing the already not so great camera quality.

How is the development community here? Is it planned to have 5.1? would you recommend CM and other roms as a good option or is it buggy and bad battery life?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinniezinho:
I bought one today.

1080p is nice (I had Nexus 4 which is 720p and went to HTC M7 which is 1080p, it is no thaaaaaaaat difference)

2Gb of ram is enough

I don't think there are better options, and with SD810 things are getting "hotter".

You can root without loosing camera quality

5.1 is planned to arrive on July by sony.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjowBr:
Im buying mine next month. Same Price of G3 but that 2k display made me run away lol

And love sony too :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zihinsiz:
I tried CM nightlies, performance and battery life is good. But battery life is better at stock rom because of power saving algorithms of sony.

Biggest down side is the camera in custom roms like CM. You should unlock bootloader to flash custom roms and this action removes DRM keys, resulting in bad camera quality. There is also the wide lens issue, images get distorted in camera apps other than stock sony camera app. I would like to use CM but as far as I know there is no fix for bad camera in Cm (or in other custom roms).

But the good thing is that you can restore drm keys if you have backed up drm keys with a tool in the forums, and return to rooted stock roms and regain the not-so-great-but-absolutely-better-than-cm image quality for camera.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeppeBove:
Ok, zihinsiz say all good things, but if i can tell you something... Take care of you mi4, because with our z3c you will have no real benefits (ok, battery A LITTLE better, screen and resolution A LITTLE better) but nothing really really better that you can see as really different as your actually situation
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
zihinsiz, Thanks for the input. Is it possible to root without removing DRM keys (which actually means, without unlocking the bootlaoder?) , and then to have CM with the sony camera, which does all the PP and thus not losing image quality? beacuse if not, it actually means I should never exchange roms...not being able to remove embedded bloatware (which is done easily with root)

PeppeBove, I have the mi2 (bought it when it first got out, almost 3 years ago!), did you mistype and think I have the mi2, and claim there's no big difference comparing both, or did you misread and think I have the mi4?

I also have another question, Where can I find the differences between both Z3C models D5803, D5833? Which one is the "international" one?

And how is the speaker phone & speakers volume? Is it good enough?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zihinsiz:
Yes, you can have root without unlocking the bootloader and without losing drm related functions. So, you can debloat the stock rom, flash mods and use xposed framework without losing any function.

And trying cm or other roms is also possible after unlocking bootloader and returning to fully functional stock rom is possible with drm restore and bootloader relocking. Unfortunately Sony camera app only works in stock roms, that is the disadvantage I talked about. You should forget camera if you have a custom rom installed, that bad is the quality I think.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Camera quality is the only thing gets bad while bootloader is unlocked? and in any case, using any other camera app will get bad results?

gps and all other sensors behave OK no matter what?

Is it possible to get google dialer or some of the stock feeling of aosp/cm roms?

As a Z3C owners can you see any other competitor with better specs at this dimensions (< 13CM height) ?

Im already looking at the devilcase metal bumper... :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
You can look at the topic in my signature for example pictures. I think my pictures are at the last or 1 before last page.

I took the pictures with Camera FV-5 and an unlocked bootloader.

They really aren't bad in my opinion, you will probably only notice a difference with low light.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chigster:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4928&idPhone2=6538. Thats a spec to spec comparison. I just got the z3 compact too and have had to switch over since my m7 decided to conveniently die on me without any warning sign. Overall I cant really tell the difference in the resolution partly because in day today applications it doesn't really matter. I suggest investing in a magnetic charger as well in order to maintain the water- resistance of the phone. The battery life is yet to be put through the paces but it's already shaping up to be much better than my heavily customized m7 was. Both my phones had 2 gigs of ram and I never saw myself using more than 1.5 gigs at the most. Overall I'd say it was worth the upgrade especially since I got my z3c for 300 AUD ;). Also the bluetooth low energy is handy if you use bluetooth headphones or if your car supports it. After the oneplus one, this is the second best phone in terms of price to specs to the fact that it is actually small enough to call a phone. My 2 cents would be not to wait since sony supports their devices for 18 months so you do get Android M and possibly the next iteration as well so really you've got all bases covered here

i wouldn't buy one today. it feels more sluggish than my wife's galaxy alpha, so i would go with an S6, even having the battery+screen size+water proofness penalty.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
Unless you are running the exact same apps on each phone it's very hard to justify a sluggish statement. You can certainly have a rogue app bogging down your phone.

I'd buy the Z3c again as there really isn't anything else to compare it to in the sub 5" category. While I'd like the camera on the S6 I'm not sure I could deal with the decrease in battery life and the overall size..as well as TouchWiz.

The Z3c is a decent enough phone that feels snappy, is the perfect size and has amazing battery life, but it has its quirks .

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INFRNL:
Not sure where you are located but amazon and fleabay seem to have some of the best prices on new device.

I'm itching to buy one myself and kills me that there is no word on when to expect the z3+c. I think id rather have the new version but it will also come with a higher premium as well. My guess would be Sept release

Things that bother me most about the z3c are poor indoor shots, cap over charging port, and the docking pins on the side.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Don't hold your breath for a Z3c+ to be released. Mini/Compact phones are going the way of the Dodo Bird (sadly). Get the Z3C now or possibly even the Samsung Alpha. The Galaxy S6 mini could be awesome (minus touchwiz) or it could be crippled like the previous mini versions have been. If you can wait, do so, so you won't have any regrets. The price will only get lower.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
Less battery? Sony will make optimisations to make it last longer NOT to mention the new SoC uses less power.

Overheating, how do you know? How long before it "overheats" when used? Sony may have made optimisations to the hardware as well. Besides Stamina has an option that underclocks the processor.

My Z3C is always on Stamina Mode, never ever lags.

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/06/17/xperia-z3-shown-to-outperform-its-successor-the-xperia-z3-plus/

Every optimization that Sony can make on software eventually will come to the Z3C via official update or non official way by ports.

The Z3C doesn't lag, it has a SD801 processor, not the SD810.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `Ghost`:
It actually isnt that over sharpen. I feel the back camera does an excellent job for what it is. I use both manual mode and intelligent auto depending on the situation.

I'm a videophile, I always stick with manual mode.

Smooth skin effect, turn it off, take a photo, turn it on, take a photo, absolutely no difference. The bug was discovered by an XDA member, I forgot who or where. If you can't see it, you must be blind or not a native Android user.

The problems with the speakers has been reported by many users. You got a new unit, probably manufactured recently, they may have fixed the issue.

Don't tell me to "use it", I've had my Z3 Compact since March 2015 and I'm Tech Savvy.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
Unless they changed the hardware (unlikely) I can confirm that the rear camera oversharpens, especially at higher resolutions. Check high-contrast edges and there will be horrendous artifacts -- they ruin many landscape photos. There is a smooth-skin effect on the front camera -- it's in the settings and turning it off does nothing. Look carefully at the live image you see of yourself before you take the photo. Then take the photo and look at the preview. It looks like someone has applied a thick layer of makeup (it's especially noticeable because the rest of the photo is often very grainy). Sometimes I barely recognize myself!

Those are two of my biggest annoyances with the Z3c (two of about a half dozen camera-related ones) and I've had six months of playing with this phone to try and get the best from it. Don't get me wrong -- I think it's a great phone overall. But the camera is highly overrated IMO.
