[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akinaro:
If it would be so simple to fix everything by reset, everyone would do this and live happy after that :]

But about that list:

2. Yes its heat a lot... but I found out that almost EVERY new phone heat a lot, mostly those with glass.metal back... companies dont understand that today phones dont actually need such power, only better optimized apps, but instead of that they put there huge CPU's like XZ and never phones. And XZ normal temp are 60-70, I actually took pirometr from work and when playing, back panel had almost 60*C its actually hard to hold it :]

And no reset nor clean system install can fix that.

4. Actually this is only problem that could be fixed with clean installation, because its clearly problem of system(reboots)

5. that is so true. For past couple of weeks Im playing with Virtual Reality Goggles, and most of apps for that just massacre CPU and battery, and even when Im charging it, after one movie(90min) Battery is down from 70 to 20% WHEN CHARING! xD And Im using docking pins for charging because I found that they give more juice than charging from microUSB.

And in Lollipop I actually need to charge it two times per day, using only music player and browser...

And about topic... it is worth?

NO

I bought it knowing about two things that battery suck, and screen suck... its turn out that screen is awesome, but camera is tragic, especially after LP update, that now camera take worst pics quality than xperia Neo V that I lately fix to use as a Android TV(work like charm with BT mouse)

Xperia Z is amazing device but compared what you can get now for that money its plain stupidity to buy it.

Sofware on it is "shoot and miss", especially when you update to LP.

Battery is tragic no matter of OS version

Camera just suck

Cover flaps are HUGE F PAIN IN THE ARSE, when you use headphones a lot you can order new ones, or even bunch of covers, because they break up easily.

Because of heat and weird design back cover can pop up a bit, so forget about waterproof.

Without sound mods its really quiet device, especially after LP

Its HUGE fingerprint magnet....

I dont care about that, but if someone want to buy new phone, forget about xz....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
The Z1 fixes most of the issues so I recommend Z1 or up
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashkan-khatar:
Dude, are you sure that you're being logical?

1) This is the only legit fault you have named. You can do nothing about this.

2) Playing a game, watching a video and surfing the web simultaneously? Are you serious? This is the biggest pressure you can put on a phone, how do you expect it not to heat up? I agree that it generally heats up pretty quickly, but newer, stronger phones usually act like that.

3) Do you really think this is a reason to convince people not to buy the XZ? Do you not think if such a flaw existed in a device, the company would stop its production line until fixed? That is definitely not a whole issue, but one with your device. You have either a damaged card slot or a faulty SD card.

4) Again, do not generalize such issues with phones ever. Random shut downs are not normal at all. They are not expected to be spontaneously present at all units of the same model. The problem is surely at your side, whether software or hardware.

5) Slow charging is apparently a problem raised after the LP update. However, I kinsa feel like it is somewhat better now for me with custom ROMs. But anyway, anticipate the official 5.1 update.

And dear OP, please compare devices of the same level of specifications. The XZ is old, but the SP is even older. It uses a dual core processor and 1GB of RAM, while the XZ is equipped with the double of each. The display also is in fHD resolution with like 441 pixels per inch, and this is quite great. Thoroughly, the XZ is a good device, in my opinion, with its thermal control system disabled in order to prevent poor performance when heating up. Battery life is also not so good. Not bad either, though. Pretty natural with newer phones. Sound volume is also so damn low.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyfly:
I had both devices. XZ and SP. Both of them are using the Snapdragon S4 Pro Processor, the XZ the Quad-Core Variant with 1,5 Ghz and the SP the Dual-Core Variant with 1,7 Ghz.

I can't recommend any of these devices, they are old and the battery is too small for todays use. I'm using the Z for almost two years now. Don't buy it, its too old for todays usage.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_sploits:
Hi,

I'm currently on EE (UK) and as I have no signal at home I was relying on Wifi Calls (which on 5.0.2 is useless. Audio pops, missed calls, failed sent text messages etc).

When 5.1.1 came out I decided to upgrade (not knowing at the time I couldn't go back, school boy error but hey ho) and I'm quite impressed with it but wifi calls aren't available (that I can see anyway). EE haven't got round to updating to 5.1.1 (and it may be a long time off yet) so I'm wondering if any other network provide wifi calls within their firmware that I could flash to make this feature once again work (I understand it may not be that simple).

I've tried changing the settings in the CSC file but to no avail (I could be missing something as I'm tech savvy but not a pro).

If this is not possible then no worries :)

Many thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stevebonning:
Another potential fix is to get unlimited internet access; with Cing it's only $19.95; then, no counting, no worries.... Cing also keeps track of data use through it's online access site, generally only 1-2 days behind real time but gives you a good idea of data usage.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] newbie2:
SmaatoCost is an AWESOME app. It will even break down your data useage between GPRS and WiFi, so you know how much of each type of connection you were using. I've been using it for a little over 9 months and can say it's been pretty much "on target" as far as how my data useage has been billed and all the rest of my billing details (calls, SMS, MMS, etc.) :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Fabske:
- have to install a program that download and displays ads (hope it only do that...)

- ugly display on vga ppc (htc touch diamond)

- doesn't seem to detect the gprs data on my diamond, it only display voice call info... and tried several "recalculate", tried to have data connection while the program is running... recalculate again... nothing. It still diplay 0 data connection...

So a lot of options/config, seem to be a nice prog, but useless if it doesn't detect the data connection info...

What is it with all of the Diamond people coming to the Wizard boards lately? This works for the Wizard, not the Diamond, which is why it isnt in their forums.

Good news guys! Galaxy S5 mini 5.1.1 Lollipop is coming!!!

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mclaudio:
I Do not believe it will be launched soon. usually there are leaks from samsung..it is not the case..

anyone have more precise info?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] alexvv:
samsung just announced that the newly arrived e5 and e7 won't be getting lollipop even though lollipop was promised and some e5 already run it (weird stuff). my point being, i'm not optimistic that the s5 mini will get android 5.0. if you remember samsung promised 4.4 kitkat for the international s3 mini and never gave the update, despite it being one of the top 10 selling devices across the globe. the s5 mini was going to get 5.0 between early may and late june and since no leaks have been found the chances are slim. hope i'm wrong, of course.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] fatjoez:
What a joke. At least release the S6 mini so we can upgrade.........
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Amodin:
And that in itself is a joke. I just bought my S5 mini only a few months ago. I'm not going to just go buy a new S6 because Samsung thinks that I need to do that, when I have a perfectly fine S5 mini that they can upgrade, as they said it would be.

I will never EVER buy a Samsung product again with how they have handled this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] alexvv:
you need to stay away from samsung phones unless they are a galaxy s or a note, or at least an alpha (minis excluded). after my post above i searched the web and found that i was wrong (at least theoritically) because samsung uk officially stated the s5 mini will get lollipop, if i'm not wrong the uk version is the exynos one (international). but i don't trust them till i see the update myself.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] DarkLTU:
Me too. Except S Note series... But if they break Note series, THAT'S IT. I'M OUT OF SAMSUNG COMMUNITY.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] DaNxMaKiNa:
The 5.0.1 update was promised in the late Q2 2015, but -I reaaaaally hope- was cancelled because Sam is cooking the 5.1.1 update (as samsung.youmobile.org says). In this case we'll have to wait a couple of months to see if Sam says something about.

I think my next smartphone will be the next Nexus 5 after the upcoming 2015 revision (if Google release another Nexus 5 in 2016) or maybe a Nokia smartphone if they really come to Android...
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Amodin:
The idiotic response to that by Samsung. Just more ways to totally irk your consumer-base:

https://twitter.com/PurposeDevoid/status/636890536318775297

People are already so pissed that they don't have Lollipop, let's keep more secrets and things from them to make them hate Samsung more! Dumbfounding.

Is there any posibility to install the us version on g800f?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] DaNxMaKiNa:
No, you can't. The main US version mounts an Snapdragon SoC, the european an Exynos SoC. Both versions are technically different, although they share specs the SoC isn't the same. Two SoCs, two different ROMs...
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] passie99:
Well I looked up the specs of G800R4 and there it was told that it has an exynos aswell..
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Dr. Hurt:
The USC model has an MSM8928.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] DaNxMaKiNa:
Exact, the Snapdragon 400.

Android is a bit different than the main desktop OS's. For example, a Linux installer come with some generic drivers to work during the installation, later it search the specific drivers for the system hardware. Windows do this too.

An Android ROM is built for a specific model. This means that a ROM will only work correctly with the hardware (SoC, MoBo, etc.) programmed into it. In other words, the system comes with specific drivers for the target system.

And this explain why you can't install a ROM on your S5 Mini if it isn't build for your variant. Cheers :)

CPU: Samsung Exynos 3 Quad 3470
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] DaNxMaKiNa:
It's not only about if the SoC it's Exynos or Snapdragon. There are many other differences, for example the LTE band compatibility. The LTE bands on USA are different from the EU, both versions are adapted to those LTE bands.

That's why there are many different variants of the same phone, they're designed specifically for the target region to give the best possible performance to the users.

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] FANATLA:
That's true, but in the german forum someone thought that possibly the Exynos makes problems and that's why it takes so long. That's why I think it's good that the model G800R4 also has an Exynos.

Russian 5.1.1 is good to go

I downloaded Sammobile 5.1.1 update after backing up all apk+data.

After flashing with Odin, my G800H/DS restarted with no glitches and my Nova interface, my apps and all my data were there, even Gmail login, Wifi parameters etc. On the minus side, root and busybox were gone.

All in all, smoother update ever, no cyrillic characters from the very first screen since my language settings were also preserved.

Cheers

EDIT: CAVEAT - *DON'T FLASH CF-Autoroot*

First line of CF-Autoroot site states that "CF-AUTO-ROOT IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL FOR ANDROID 6.0+, OR SAMSUNG ON ANDROID 5.1+"

As I've missed that, now I have bootloop. Starting it all over, hoping it goes as smooth as the first round.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] wadiii39:

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
No root yet, AFAIK...

Cannot freezing apps nor uninstall Smasung bloatware, nor etc; must wait for [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] to provide CF-Autoroot for Samsung/5.1.1.

I've downloaded the Russian release & flashed it using Odin! Everything stayed as it were! My apps, settings, data, contacts, call log, messages... etc. It's a very lovely experience.. Everything is working fine.. Here are some screenshots from my device.. You should try it guys..

Waiting for root! Hope it comes soon..

Is there an option to remove the s-finder and quick connect from the notification panel? Should be with the quick toggle customisation.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
Wanam Xposed is an Xposed Framework module that can do this and many other tweaks that are specific to Samsung devices, but it needs root.

Which app did you use to take screenshots?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] wadiii39:
No app needed! Just the ordinary way (Palm swipe over your screen ;) )
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Dr. Hurt:
Yes, but Samsung added an option to hide that as part of the 5.1.1 update for the regular S5 so I wondering if that made it to the mini too.

If you have 5.1.1, pull down the notification bar, touch the 3 squares at the top right, then touch the pencil at the top. There should be an option to remove them at the bottom.

Ps. Screenshots are taken by pressing and holding power + home button.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
Sure, I totally forgot it! :), thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
Thanks, but there are no available settings for hiding S Finder and Quick Connect buttons (see images) among quick settings configuration options.

As for screenshots, I've tried both power+home and power+vol-down -- no can do. But yes, palm swipe is still there.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] EsromTech:
This update does the sensor to take screenshot? I'm talking motion with his hand in front of the sensor strip screenshot ..
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
Nope, only palm swipe is doing the trick.

Excuse me for the Portuguese glitch. Once again:

I think I'm better off waiting for the [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] solution. The Russian method involves a modified kernel, and I'm not sure wheter I'm up to go that far. From the Russian site, in a heinous Google translation:

No problem at all. Update is safe and smooth, all my previous settings were kept intact. Language, bandbase, everything works fine and there's no glitch. It's been a nice and faster than 4.4.2 Android experience.

Can you enter the warning screen (with a yellow triangle at the bottom) by following this two steps?

1. Power off (or battery off)
