[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nri_tech1183:
I want to perform a HARD RESET on my Z3 compact.

I wanna perform hard reset as suddenly my on-screen buttons arent responsive. They work rarely or occasionally.

Wanted to do via Sony PC Companion but it updates the phones software to lollipop which I dont want to.

Cant I repair and hard reset using Sony PC Companion but without upgrading phones software?

Or is there any third-party tool or other ways to hard reset or repair my phone?

Simple flash a 4.4.4 firmware via flashtool. Make a backup before of internal sd. This should bring u to the position that pc comp should do.

This is only FTF.you should lose your root and recovery when you flash it via flashtool but not your private datas

RTC Battery

My Wizard is about two years old and I have had not noticed it happening before .

I plan to open housing soon to look for such battery.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] landwomble:
you can't, really.

there's a "gold cap" small capacitor surface-mounted to the motherboard of your wizard top left. this retains enough charge to keep the RTC time right, and they wear out. replacing one is risky, as the heat from a conventional soldering gun may damage components - it's something i'd advise just living with.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Watchman:

I can not live with it, used to swap batteries very often.

Can anybody suggest proper soldering tool and web shop where to buy such tool and capacitor.

Backup Battery in Wizard plus other devices

... my first post ... yes I'm a noob.

Answering to something that may be a little dated, but hopefully it will come in handy for someone.

Regarding the small backup battery in Wizard (plus likely other devices). This is indeed a small battery, and not a (gold cap) capacitor as suggested in literature/previous posts.

My device too suffered this loss in time with replacement of main battery.

I sourced the battery on line (only place I found it was at DigiKey). They were $2.75/ea. plus handling fee ($6.50) plus delivery ($8.00) and of course let's not forget those taxes.

http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/C081/P2214.pdf (- see Figure 1 on pdf)

It is a magnesium lithium ion rechargeable (Panasonic ML414RM/F9A - DigiKey P003CT-ND). I ordered 4 on-line (I have more than one Wizard, both suffering from the same plague - one is the one I do all the fun hacking on, and keep/use one as my main workhorse. What's fun is one is G3 and the other G4 so any ROM cooking I have tried Main OS and Extended, I can validate on both types ... sorry ... back to the battery)...

I replaced the one battery to test and it worked. It now works fine and retains the time/date settings.

Now the nore technical stuff. How was it determined that it was indeed a battery and not a capacitor. Well first of all looking at it (I work a lot with electronics). Secondly, after removing I measured a small voltage on the battery. I shorted the two leads, and measured again. The voltage began to rise again. If it were a capcitor, shorting the ends would eliminate any charge and that would be it. Being as it is a battery, it revives and returns to the pre-shorted voltage again (a capacitor would not do this).

Check your device and check the battery (if possible) before trying yourself. As I mentioned I do a lot with electronics and so I feel comfortable doing this.

For those who may want to attempt themself, a fine tipped electronics soldering iron can be used (from a Radio Shack or Source or any electronics hobby shop). Get low melting temperature solder (avoid the silver solders as these have higher melting points - don't want to cook the battery). Tin the battery leads before soldering to the board. Clean and re-tin the board itself. Avoid heating/over heating the battery too long as this will "cook" the electrolyte and dramatically shorten the battery life if not destry it. Very little on the board around this battery so less likely to do any damage to the board. If you do try .... GOOD LUCK
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nir36:
no one uses a capacitor for saving data(even time and date) except for desktop RAM but that's just cause it gets powered up all the time by the PS.

of course a capacitor is used for short-time memory.. but it's not more than 2-3 minutes. the only way you'd be able to keep it for a long term is to have a XuF capacitor with a small battery..

these batteries are known to die frequently due to voltage shocks and extra current. the phone itself has a safety mechanism in which if you connect it to different voltage sources, as long as they're in a thin range of voltages, will manage to charge.. but some of the inner mechanisms (such as that capacitor).. are burnt during charging.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mistraller:
The service manual speaks about a GoldCap 0,07F, 70Ohm, 3,3V (which isn't a normal capacitor) but mine looked like a small battery.

Mine was looking green because of some oxide on it. (caused by rainy jackets I thihk)

Is it really possible that the service manual is wrong? I thought there are also rechargable button cells...do you know for sure a regular lithium cell is ok?

(oh, my device is a prophet)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sivankls:
THIS IS A HIGH CAPACITY CAPACITOR also called super capacitor.

looking at what is printed GoldCap 0,07F, 70Ohm, 3,3V

F=Farad (capacitance values are normally specified in nano, micro, milli farads etc
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tkteun:
I tried soldering on a broken USB connector in a wizard once but messed it all up, it seems they use some RoHS tin which makes it very difficult to make clean connections.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Nandaly:
No! Not A Capacitor! Yes A Battery!

Folks,

This is indeed a battery in the HTC Wizard and NOT A CAPACITOR. A 0.07F capacitor would be physically several times larger than the phone itself.

So regardless of what is "printed" in the service manual, this is a small magnesium lithium ion rechargeable battery.

I have changed on 2 HTC Wizards (branded ATT Cingular 8125).

What I took out was exact identical to what I purchsed from Digikey (on-line as posted in my earlier comment)(and yes, the soldering is/was a tad bit difficult - if you do not know what you are doing).

I'm on the exact bootloader version, using Kang's version of twrp, and following the instructions to the letter, and I just get an infinite boot animation. I've even tried leaving out flashing gapps, supersu, and only flashing the rom by itself. The ironic part of this is that I got the rom to boot up maybe a month ago, but before I discovered Kang's twrp. So the resulting boot up said everything was out of storage space.

I talked to [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] (the creator of KatKiss) a long time ago, and asked him if he would like to develope for TF700T (because KatKiss is originally made for TF300T). He told, that he havent't got a TF700T, and he wouldn't develope without the hardware. I made a fundraiser in March, but it made only 20$

If you would donate directly to him (http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=3951330), we could have the original developer on this project

I have a TF300T aswell, and he released Android 6.0 KatKiss for TF300T 3 weeks ago
