[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istux:
Sony won't drop z3 compact soon, as they usually support their products for 2 years from the release. So we will see updates until september/october 2016 ;) ...and for sure we will see Andorid M working on our machines :D

z3 compact DOES have dots for recharging with docking station! And you can also use a flexible magnetic connector when you travel or just for an easy use (like me).

About the size, what can we say? it's only your choice: it's better you try to handle it in a store. If you want something bigger, z3 is way better than z3+ anyways.

Last but not least, z3 compact has an incredible battery (better than normal z3, due to the smaller dimensions of the screen).

Actually I don't know how American market works because it's usually different from Europe, so I can't help you about the choice from that point of view. :p

I can say that if a z5 compact will be released, HERE we will see the price dropping from november onwards and z3 compact will be sold until January/February. But I know that in America Sony has a smaller market than here, so it's easy you won't be able to buy it from september onwards.

A universal advice: are you still a student? Buy only what you can REALLY afford (not what you think you can). :good: ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillieidiot:
honestly, the note 3 is a fairly large phone. going from that to the compact would be way too much. i think you would feel that the size of the compact would be way too small for you. the normal z3 would probably be a better choice.

but i mean, if you have to have the newest stuff, then i would wait. otherwise if you don't need to, the z3/z3c is perfectly fine. i wouldn't even go for the z3+. it has few advantages, and it's the same or worst in most other categories.

i know you don't want to buy used, but i would try it to see if you even like the phone. at least if you got a cheap z3/z3c and then the new one comes out, when you sell it, you don't take nearly as much as a loss compared to having a new one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambkor:
Thanks for taking a time to answer me! Yeah i am probably going to get the compact and give it a shot. I was really hoping to get the latest compact.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
Z3 compact has the "dots" for charging (if that's what you mean by the magnetic charger connections) and can be used with the magnetic docks for the Z1 and Z2 as well IIRC.

As for he Z5 Compact... IF it is ever actually released (still not confirmed) then chances are it won't be available in the US until the end of the year at the earliest, if it's sold here at all. And since we know nothing about the specs of this rumored device like screen rez, battery size, etc. then who knows if it'll be worth the premium over the Z3c.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakiscy:
I was having the same question too. Its 360 euros in amazon.de at the moment. If z5 compact is released in September then most probably z3 compact will have a price drop 50 euro on October which is not a big deal. It will also have another 50 euro drop in one year from now if you compare it with the price of z1. z3c is already in a good price you should go get iti think
[Samsung Gear Fit] dtrin:
Hello all, I have found an unusual problem. I noticed that the button on my gear fit was stuck in the down/on position after I had come off a flight. I figured i might have had a pressure seal problem with my unit. I swapped with my wife's gear fit and the same thing happened to her watch after another flight. This leaves the watch constantly in a reset loop and unresponsive to button presses. It took a few days before the button on my wife's watch to 'pop out' again, i had to pry my one out with a blade. Has this happened to anybody else? My wife and I had bought our watches from independent places and a few months apart. Looks to be a design problem. :confused:
[Samsung Gear Fit] Morethanwysiwyg:
This just happened to me after a flight last night. I hope mine pops out.
[Samsung Gear Fit] ashoktwo:
The button only seem to stick when returning from a warm country so I think it is a combination of temperature and pressure change. I have been able to get the button released by gently warming it in my hands over a radiator.
[Samsung Gear Fit] rawmm:
My gear fit button was stuck after long flight from warm country to US in winter time. The button is still stuck and Samsung customer service reported never heard of this issue.
[Samsung Gear Fit] cbriantx:
This happened to me driving back from Breckenridge, CO, to Austin, TX. I notices on the drive that it restarted itself while I was driving and then the button was stuck in. I waited a couple days to see if it would pop back up but it didn't pop back up on its own. Based on the the above post by Ashoktwo, I wrapped my gearfit in a heating pad for about 10 minuted and when I checked on it, the button had popped back out and it appears to be working fine. I have flown on many flights with this watch and it never happened but this is the first time I've driven to and from such a different altitude. Heating up the watch seems to have fixed the problem.
[Samsung Gear Fit] vipthomps:
Seemed to have fixed mine. details are here http://xdaforums.com/gear-fit/help/power-sleep-button-gear-fit-t2844822
[Samsung Gear Fit] Toeseven:
gear fit button stuck in after flights

This has also happened to me and it took me a while to realise that it was after i'd been on a flight. Button returns to normal usually within 24 hours of landing and functions perfectly afterwards. Must be related to the pressure I'm guessing. Could only find someone who's also had this problem on this forum so thanks for confirming that there is an issue.
[Samsung Gear Fit] smartencute:
So happy I found this! I was looking at the fully charged watch as we landed, coming from the mountains back to 1000 ft elevation, when it just suddenly stopped, and the button was struck in. Sounded goofy to put it in a heating pad, but did for 15-20 min & it worked like a charm! THANK YOU!
[Samsung Gear Fit] XSand:
Took button three days to get back to normal behaviour

The button of my Gear Fit was useless after a short flight from Ireland to the Netherlands. Keeping the watch warmly packed helped only for one or two button clicks and then the button was receded and of no use again. The slightest pressure on the button would send the Gear Fit in reset/reboot mode.

However, after three days (and me giving up hope) the button is now back at its normal bouncy behaviour.

I thought I'd post my experience because it might pay off to wait a bit longer. After two days I was considering having it repaired and in the end it turned out okay by itself. I did not even have to repeat heating the device.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anshumangoyal:
I was looking into forums and not able to find the official link to download TWRP for Sony Xperia ZL C6502.

Is there any official link where this can be downloaded. I remember last time, I struggled a lot as I just flashed wrong TWRP image.

So, if we can make it official page for TWRP for Xperia ZL, it will be great.

Thanks In Advance

This message is for the owner and administrators of this site/forum.

By looking at the recent discussions in some forum sections and sadly see people leaving this place, complaining, giving bad feedbacks around other places, and even create new forums by their own, I kindly ask you to value the option to create a few specific International forum sections for non-english speaking users, who would like to share their opinions, cookings, etc... without the need to face anymore "english language only" problems. I ask this, because there seems to be a lot of confusion about this, especially by Italian users, as I am.

As I think this forum has been always the leading one, in matter of handheld device development, I think it is also in your interest to earn new users and never to lose anyone of current ones. I am not asking you to create 100 new sections, Just a few separate sections named for example: "German Forum" , "Italian Forum" , "Spanish & Portuguese" and so on.... just for the main languages, which are no more than 7-8... even less. Many of the most popular forums I know did this already, and inside this one, I think it's even more important.

So please, if you can, take some time to think about this request, or otherwise just reject it and explain why and what it stops you from doing that.

Regards

Well, it seems no one has interest in this...

very nice...
[About XDA developers] mestrini:
Unless you'd have a Moderator for each different language with the task to pass new findings and developments to the "International" section, i don't see any benefit in it. In fact i think the rules should be more restrictive regarding the languages used in forum messages by demanding the translation to english! I do understand languages other than my own but would like to know what Turkish, Germans or other are saying (even if it brings nothing new to my knowledge)

Just 2 cents
[About XDA developers] cavallino:
I know what you mean,

but in my idea local language speaking forums would be just minor general forums (where you won't find exclusive informations) made mainly to help such users who can't speak and understand english without the need to warn them to use english language only. And I think there are a lot of users who come to this site just to find links and download cooked roms and patches, and sometimes happens that they ruin their handheld just because they didn't understand completely what they downloaded and its instructions.

Of course it's clear that every language section will have a moderator/s, which would be a trusted user (who knows the local forum language) who can moderate the section in the same way and with same rules as the english ones (there will be a sticky post with the rules translated in local language).

I think all this can only bring a positive effect over this forum.

Anyway, I just added a poll for this matter... everyone feel free to vote!

[XDA Assist] g.huy17:
I've just successfully rooted my Samsung G530H thanks to CF Auto Root. So 1 day after using my rooted phone without seeing any problem, I decided to download and try using Chainfire3D (it was kind of weird cuz' my first search on Google Play Store didn't show Chainfire3D). Like any other users, I explored the new app and tried to install CF3D driver. I saw something pop-up on the screen after tapping "Install CF3D....." (it could be a warning), before I could read it I accidentally tap something on that pop-up-thing, making my phone reboot. The logo showed up and it kept freezing like that for 3 hours (and maybe forever). I searched for solutions but most of them were about flashing ROM, and I had no ROM installed on my phone. I tried to wipe data/factory reset but it was no use, now I cannot connect my phone as USB cable to PC too. Now I don't know what to do because my phone has really become a brick with buttons and holes on it.

After having this phone sense it came out ...battery life is some what OK not any thing like the note 4 .........

Sorry Pancho but he's not crazy. For some it doest bother them, other it's does. Honestly your telling everyone your getting a wonderful battery life, no memory leak issues where your phone is not responsive, and lastly wifi issues? Also the development in this phone is just not slow but terrible. The sprint variant for one is doing better then here. It's sad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] netnerd:
i regret i sold my NoteEdge.

galaxy s6 edge is waste a money, the edge screen doesnt do anything! the edge screen only turn on when main screen is off !

on NoteEdge, i can surf web, playing game, watching video and still able to check my live stock quote on the edge screen at the same time !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sweets55:
I gave my Note 4 to the wifey. She loves it and I don't regret it at all. I picked up her phone yesterday and was damn this phone is huge. lol I prefer a smaller phone for the summer time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] xEVILFREDx:
That's a preference. You prefer a Galaxy S series. But when I compare the note 4 Vs the s6 edge and I have a 64 GB edition, I can say that I miss my note 4. The performance even with stock tw was better then this device the s6 edge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Disable the junk apps, that's the big drawback with Samsung and t mobile, they cram all that crap into your phone, in the process slowing it down.

BTW, I have 4 pages of disabled apps.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Root:
After I debloated using disable, everything was as I wanted/expected. They're all different phones. Yes, there might be better for you, but if you were insanely happy why would you switch. I held onto my S4 forever. I switched to the Edge because it really delighted me in person. I weighed what I was giving up and have since not really missed those features. Memory leak was harder for me on 5.0.2. I get it much less often than before. Battery like has been about the same as on the S4 but I actually use this phone more often. I don't know why people think the newest phones will fix the few ills of a phone that actually made them happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
I also came from the S4 running root on a stock rom and it was fabulous.

Didn't even consider the S5 because it wasn't that much more than the S4.

My S6 edge is superior over the previous models.

Yesterday after a bit of browsing i connected my charger as battery level reached 2%. To my surprise the charging indicator din't appeared. I opened my battery monitor app to check the problem. It showed AC plugged in and not charging. The tempreature was -30C. After a little research i found out that phone does not charge under 4C. Now my phone is stuck at 1% with charger connected all the time. Since my phone is rooted i can change the value of that limit of 4C to -30C. My question is where can i find this file?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harri2cool:
Hi,

I have a huge problem with my One M8, heres are the details:

I bought my M8 from a well known seller on eBay Germany (rebuy.de) in February or March 2015... they had listed it as a software modified phone. I bought it having known that, I'd fix it using help from xda. When I fist checked it, it had a corrupted OS... I checked it's CID, it was T-MOM101 (Telekom Germany). After searching for a RUU everywhere I realised there was none. I installed a custom recovery, downloaded a TWRP nandroid Lollipop backup and the matching Lollipop firmware for T-MOB101 from a german site, unlocked bootloader and finally Nandroid restored the device. It booted up into the OS and I was happy for getting it running.

My joy was not to last long.... Rondom apps started crashing like crazy on the installed latest Lollipop firmware 4.19.111.2 ( S-ON M8). Got app crashing messages daily.... I had to reboot to get them working again but after some time another random app crashed then I had to reboot again or update that particular app if an update is available, to get it working again.

So far I've tried the original sense rom (TWRP Restore), many custom roms (ViperOne M8, Google Play Edition ROM, InsertCoin SkyDragon etc)... non seemed to be stable for my M8.

I had had enough, I thought by converting to SuperCID and restoring a WWE RUU would liberate me from my misery, so I went on to purchase the SunShine S-Off. I S-Off'd my M8 and restored using the RUU. Didn't help :(

Same behaviour persists on the WWE Rom too... app crashes driving me crazy... feel like throwing the M8 out of my window :(

Is there a genius who could help me fix my M8? Would really like to enjoy the M8.

Thanks in advance.

current state : Super CID, S-Off, Stock WWE 5.0.1 ROM

I also heared about the issue, that high version jumps may cause problems, too. You could try to flash the official RUUs in chronological order. Starting with the oldest version to the latest...

I've tried to wipe factory reset, wipe cahce, wipe dalvick. and reinstall the new costum rom. but somehow it's not working, still runing the old broken rom. (i did it in twrp). in my hh recovery there is no wipe system or data. or i just don't know where is it.. but i've tried go to every menu but found nothing.

i've tried to install mobile uncle or uninstall any app, but i can't, the hh always restart and the error messages always shown.

the error message not only about the google play, also the process of gapps, other app, launcher etc

i've tried using flash tool that i used when first time i install my first custom rom. but still loaded the lewa rom that have been broken.
