[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanogueralorenzo:
Hey there, I'm planning to give back my g3 to amazon spend 20€ more and get the z3c...

I know this is the z3c forum so I will get more positive reviews about it.

Some extra info: I keep using my nexus 7 2013 for reading and video, with the G3 I didn't use the nexus 7 2013 at all these days so if I keep the G3 I think I will sell the tablet.

G3 foto gets really good with XCam from xdabebb although you can't modify so many values as the z3c manual mode 20 megapixel...

Battery: G3 can give me 5 hours SOT MAX in a day of use, if I forget to charge it It wont get through the second day.

The best thing I like about the LG G3 are the thin bezels and the fact of a 5.5 inch into so small sizes + the screen for multimedia purposes can substitute tablet use.

The worst thing about the LG G3 is the size for 1 hand is nearly impossible and dangerous (phone can easily fall), and the battery + the camera is only good with xdabbeb camera XCam and now with lollipop LG has removed many functionalities about the hardware of the camara that can be accesed

Sorry for the long post

TL.DR: Why should I get Z3 Compact over G3, provide some links in your answers (even I've searched in google quite a lot and not many people compare these 2 due to different screen sizes)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocopvn:
I come from the LG G2 (1 year) -> Amazon Firephone (3 months)-> z3 compact (3 months so far) . However I help my friend to buy a LG G3 and use if for a couple of days. Technically, the LG G3 is mostly identical to the LG G2 (slightly bigger in screen and size, same camera, battery capacity, design and internals (S801 is just an overclocked s800)) However, when the G2 has very good battery life, the G3 is just average. G3 has better camera focus time thanks to laser sensor, but the image quality is mostly the same (they uses the same Sony sensor) The reason I switch to the Z3 compact is G3 is mostly the same as G2 and I need to upgrade my smartphone, as my father love to use the G2, and he's still using. And I advise 4 of my friends to buy sony devices. Our group now have 1 z3, 4 z3 compacts.

The reason for buying z3 compact is:

+ water proof: trust me, my s4 died for just drop into the water for 3 seconds. This z3c has several times accidentally into the water and she lives well. Plus one time listening to music under the heavy rain for more than 1 hour.

+ battery: The best battery life device for more than 10 smartphones I've used in my life. My habit is charge the phone over-night and I have to plug it in normally at 40-50%, 30% on the intensive day and even 70% on the easy one.

+ speakers: It has 2 stereo speakers towards your ears. Most of the other smartphone including LG and has speaker grill at the bottom (one ear in landscape mode) or in the back ?? after using phones with front-facing speakers, you will never go back. And my daddy love my mother's Moto G 2014 just because of those speakers haha.

The reason to not buy the z3 compact is:

-screen size: Depends. Yeah it's very efficiently designed since it has 4.6 inches screen and much smaller than the 4.7 inches galaxy alpha and Iphone 6. However, 4.6 can be considered too small for some. You can buy the z3 in this case, keep in mind that the bigger Z3 doesn't have the as good screen-size ratio as the z3 compact

-camera: IMX 220 is the very good camera (proven in other devices. However, I don't know why Sony can introduce the very bad camera software. It's hard to use, it's complicated, it re-focus when you hit the button even when you already focused just before. Plus, the camera software stays the same without any major updates for nearly 2 years since the z1 and z1 compact. It's a joke when Sony keeps updating theirs other apps like Walkman (now music), Gallery, launcher, themes, major android updates. And don't get me wrong, z3c camera is really good, it just cannot cope with the potential of the sensor itself, and ironically they are the maker of the sensor ha ha. And please not to forget the 2MP front facing camera is just average (with f 2.8 and bad quality) if you are the selfie person.

In conclusion, I'm very satisfied with the z3 compact and will stick with it for a long time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanogueralorenzo:
Hello thanks for your post it was very usefull for me, I also owned the G2 for a while and I must say, from what I remember, the camera noise is much lower in the G3 under low light conditions. The main reason I want to get the z3c is due to the camera (in manual mode you can get impressive pictures & auto mode is improving from what I've read) and the battery. The biggest con I see with the z3c is non-removable battery. When the battery life ends it will mean you have to throw it away or take it to the service center and pay a big amount of money to get a new one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanogueralorenzo:
Thanks for your opinion, I've been using the G3 for 1 week or so and I got exactly that, 4-5 hours SOT and at the end of the day you had to charge it. The worse part of the G3 in my opinion it is that it was too big and this made even worse the fragile/slipery feeling.

The camera are great in both smartphones, but just today I saw one which was even more amazing, the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL. I had it a while and besides 5.7 inch it felt very solid and comfortable. Now I'm between going full retard and buy the 640 XL for 200€ or the z3 compact for 350€. Both are the best in battery performance and camera (although 640XL goes a bit higher on both due to wp). But z3 compact being so smal and so good camera and battery...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krastinov:
Maybe it's just me and my sticky hands, but I haven't had any problems holding it. Never experienced any OMG-GONNA-DROP-IT scenarios (just being overly careful after shattering my last Samsung...). Moreover, I heard that the Z3C is more prone to being dropped due to the glass on the back... yet I'm not sure, the one I played with had some anti-theft gizmos attached to its back, so I couldn't compare :d.

Yea, Lumias are great photo-taking devices, but you would have to settle for Windows Phone, which is... well, let's say that not everybody likes it. But it's your call, as an Android fanboy I would, of course, choose the Xperia, even though it's photo capabilities may be a bit behind Lumias.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdd.blm:
hello guys !

i have an LG-D855, when i woke up this morning i checked my gallery & there were no pictures in it ! not even a loading icon , & the same thing to my music, ringtones & videos nothing at all.

but when i connect it to my pc i can find all of my pictures & music there, i tried another apps like QuickPic & worked fine, i could access to my pictures but i wasn't that lucky with my music & ringtones..

i tried to clear data & cache to the gallery , music app , video app, media storage & rebooted them but it didn't work for me !

is there any possible solution to this except the factory reset please ! HELP !!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdd.blm:
finally found the solution!!

hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !! finally managed to fix it :crying: :crying: after long hard hours of thinking & trying & disappointments !! & before a close call to reset my phone :crying:

well this solution is weird as fu** ! i can tell u that but it works !!

after reading a thread in a forum i had this starting idea !

-first u got to hav QuickPic !! (works like magic) & it supposed to find your pictures even when gallery doesn't.

-go to any folder in QuickPic (camera, download ...) & click on the menu button in the right upper corner & u will find (hide or unhide), if it's hidden just unhide it ! if it's not hide it & then unhide it !! & do the same to all the remaining folders.

-once u are done check ur gallery & ur supposed to find them there !!

-once u find them there, go to your (file manager--all files--internal storage--android--data) & select in the menu to show hidden files.

-u'll find this .nomedia file in it (this is the root to this problem -_- NASTYY!! ) just delete it !!

-then go to your (Settings--Apps--ALL) & search for gallery and clear the cache & data .. & do the same thing to Media Storage clear the cache & data & Force stop it !!

-once ur done & while ur on the settings menu , press the power button & turn OFF your Phone !! & leave it off for 2-3 minutes !!

-then turn ON ur phone again & wait a bit untill it fully starts. & clear the opened tabs if there's any!!

-Go check your gallery now !! you will find all of your pics there with some extra weird Sh*t in there, just delete them & enjoy !!!!!!!

Now u have your pics & music & everything back to normal !!

i don't know if you guys will find the .nomedia file where i found it (in Android--data)! if not just search for it & delete it !! there's lot of solutions out there !!

Hope it helped you out guys ! really do !! enjoy your pics & music back !! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] v1ral:
Hello,

I've been going back and fourth to the forums and it seems like it's a ghost town in there.

Has everyone just packed up and left this device?

Has Verizon really locked it's m8 down that hard?

I would like more ROMs to flash even if it's a legit port, would be nice to have something new...

Our device isn't dead yet, heck I think the m7 still gets ROMs to this day....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sjpritch25:
Really...... Wake up. Not sure what your looking for. I certainly wouldn't call it dead. Are you referring to sense ROMs?

I rooted my S6 Edge using Ping Pong Root shortly after getting the phone, however I am yet to use anything that takes advantage of it. So, I'm hoping to unroot and get the latest OTA updates.

Can someone point me in the right direction as how to accomplish this please?

I can't wait for the Bluetooth fix anymore.

I decided to revert to kk but I don't know what to install.

Can you help me?

And I probably need the reflash firmware right?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
How hard is it to choose a ROM for yourself? Yes you need to make sure you flash the right firmware and modem.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itay2108:
When I come back to KK I always flash SlimSaber but it really is a personal opinion.

in the worst case - you don't like the ROM so you flash another one in a matter of minutes. (believe me there are days when I flash 3-5 ROMs.)

ok so i tried flashing for the first time my g3 wizard 2.26 2.26 02.25.11 2.26.10.2 . i used lokiwizo2b to unlock my phone this morning.

Now when i tried to flas the update went to 99% and stopped stating error 302 communication error. it gave me a recovery process and told me to try again. so i did same result. what can i do to get my phone back? it son a tri color screen thanks

Did you follow this post step by step to unlock it?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Zzan:
SIM unlock is not the same as CID unlock.

You cannot CID unlock from 2.xx bootloaders. The Lokiwiz thread states this numerous times.

You didn't read first.

Read the Sticky: The Definitive guide to CID Unlocking and Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards.

Don't skip ANY steps (well since you are stuck in bootloader you will just have to flash the button rom from bootloader and won't have an activesync connection, but don't skip any of the final steps.)

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but anyways the issue I'm having is installing Facebook on Bluestacks. I had to restore my computer so now I'm reinstalling Bluestacks and I can't seem to install Facebook. I can install other apps but I can't install Facebook. I tried going back to several version of Facebook and several version of Bluestacks and I can't get it to work. I already tried several fixes like the Google Play deleted data and cache trick and it does not work. The error I get is the Package file is invalid. If I try to install a APK of Facebook I get a error saying "APK installation failed: INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK" and if I try to install a downloaded APK through Root Explorer I get a this file appears to be corrupt.

[General Questions and Answers] adithyan25:
The best way is to restore your phone..

Anyway, try clearing the apps cache and date:

Settings / Application manager

Scroll right to the 'All' tab

Scroll down until you find the Play Store app, then tap that row.

Tap the Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons.

Then restart the Play Store app and see what happens.

:)
[General Questions and Answers] DastanShaikh:
There's a full wipe option in recovery to install new rom..

Use that..

Or wipe cache /delvik cache, wipe data/factory reset

Then install ur new rom.....so it works as buttery smooth ;)

~ A MeepOS Sprinkles Development ~

Currently on hold. Sorry!

I didn't really enjoy the stock watchfaces in the weather watchface so I decided to make my own, minimalized.

Update: There have been mixed results with other stock-based ROMs. Your results may vary. Remember to always backup :)

[IMG="Watchface Previews"]http://i.imgur.com/8hxiS0r.png?1[/IMG]

This works on stock (stock based?) and brings more customizability without Xposed!

Also included - Flat Black Analog Watchface.

This zip will replace the default black analog watchface and the default weather watchface with the new styles.

Download and flash FlatFaces2.zip in recovery and reboot!

Flash at your own risk. I cannot 100% guarantee it will work with your ROM.

To restore originals flash StockFaces.zip and reboot.

Enjoy! I'm open to comments/questions/suggestions/requests/criticism/donations! :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] danmircea92:
Flashed them and there are no new faces in the selection menu of the Quick Circle. CloudyG3 2.3 rom.
[G3 Themes and Apps] rybyte:
Really sorry to hear that! Just to clarify, the zip only replaces the second watchface and the last watchface, which is the weather one, so the remaining watchfaces should be unchanged. On Cloudy the weather watchface doesn't work however and crashes (for me at least), so the only change you would see is the second black watchface.
[G3 Themes and Apps] whoamigriffiths:
I'll try this today and let you know the results as I had crashing weather on cloudy 2.3 too.

I'm on 2.4 now and circle weather works fine so hopefully your mod will work. Cross fingers.

Update

The weather clock works on cloudy 2.4, but the clock app stops when you try to use any of the functions that are behind the clock face. I backed up before trying this out.

I tried to flash your stock zip to check if that works on cloudy 2.4 and it does, but with the same issues with the functions behind the clock (settings camera phone etc etc)
[G3 Themes and Apps] danmircea92:
You were right. It was an rom error. On CloudyG3 2.4 it works very well. Thanks!
[G3 Themes and Apps] rybyte:
I'm really sorry about that! I didn't encounter that so I'm not sure what could be causing the crashes. It might be a difference between stock and Cloudy. I might work on a compatible mod for Cloudy 2.4 later.
[G3 Themes and Apps] rybyte:
That's fantastic to hear! I'm really glad it works for you as there have been mixed results.
[G3 Themes and Apps] whoamigriffiths:
Is using settings after you swipe away the clock working for you?

My tests weren't very scientific as I have dirty flashed 2.4, but if your quick circle is working properly on 2.4 I know I have to do a clean install.

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

No worries at all, I was trying to get some extra info for you, I'll see what the response to my question is from our other poster to see if I need to do a clean install. ?
[G3 Themes and Apps] danmircea92:
Yes, the settings in the quickcircle after swiping the clock. I also did a dirty flash of the 2.4 and it work ok without FC. But I've noticed it hasn't a rule. With other error and FC's it was enough to dirty flash again the rom, other times it was necessary a clean install. This time, the update was enough.
[G3 Themes and Apps] myabc:
i installed this zip on cloudy 2.4 (rom flashed clean), but in quick circle i see only and always the clock default. what have i to do after flash for see weather clock on quick circle when i close cover??? perhaps i didn't understand and after flash i have to set anything? thanks
[G3 Themes and Apps] rybyte:
Hi, sorry for the late reply. If you didn't know, you have to manually change the watchface. Swipe from the edge of the watchface to reveal the menu. Touch the setting icon, and you will be brought to a selection carousel for watchfaces. If you scroll to the very last one you should see the weather watchface. Hope this helps!
