Try flashing OxygenOS 2.0.2 again and then factory reset. You may see a bump in speed. I personally have no quirks with the fluidity of the phone. While it does have some bugs all over the place, never once did the phone feel sluggish. But with that said, the OS does need a lot more polish to really make it feel truly complete. Right now despite all the OTAs OxygenOS still feels incomplete, or maybe its because I'm too used to the versatility of a CM based ROM.

It's slow for about a minute after boot but then things are really fast
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anupritaisno1:
Actually, the problem is because 2 google apps are using your CPU way too much. Disable the sheets and the slides apps in settings and you should be fine. CPU usage dropped by 40% in cpu-z after disabling these apps.

Update:- actually the CPU now has really less usage after disabling (5% after disabling.).
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mehul.S:
That's something new.. I anyway just remove these apps from my /system..

Im on OOS 2.1.2 rooted.. Having xposed and AK kernel.. No lags.. Super fluid..

For those complaining about the slow app launching, download a 3rd party launcher and you'll see instantly the difference in app launching. I prefer google now launcher to maintain that stock feel.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anupritaisno1:
You see, I saw some lag and I went to developer options>show CPU usage and the most of the CPU usage came from the sheets and slides apps.

Hello, faced with this problem, install the virtual reality "cardboard" in the demo mode, the picture is shaking constantly, even when the phone is motionless, spent a few tests of the gyroscope is it shows fluctuations in the service center changed completely charge with all sensors, the problem persists, I understand the problem of the entire line, and probably software, somebody can help solve the problem? :rolleyes:
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fillerbunny:
Yup, my Cardboard is useless too. I guess the problem is quite similar to what Moto G users have been experiencing - both devices use a Bosch gyroscope.

Hi guys,

These forums has helped me a lot so here I am trying to give something back. So here's what happened.

I have just received my Z3C from the Sony service centre as the waterproofness of this phone is sadly, not that reliable. I went swimming in a river with this phone while taking pictures and shooting videos, and the next thing I know. Bam, the screen goes dark and the phone was dead. I did not submerge it for a long period of time either. I took underwater videos for around 2-3 minutes and I resurface it again. It worked flawlessly for the first 2 videos but the third time is really not the charm. I thought the battery was dead at first but later that night when i tried to charge it, i saw water vapours inside the lens and that was when I realised the horror that I am in.

I did secure the two flaps many times before diving into the water so its not an issue of carelessness. The incident also happened after 1 and a half months after I owned the phone so I don't think the integrity of the rubber flaps would have been compromised by constant opening and closing for charging by then. If it is, then it is another thing that we should be worried about.

What I think happened was the current in the river (although not strong) might have had an effect on the integrity of the rubber flaps and caused the leak. I have submerged my Z3C in the bath tub a couple of times before and it was fine. However, the currents of the river might not be that forgiving towards the phone. THEREFORE, I urge caution towards my fellow Z3C users when taking it towards watery places as you might taste the same tears of disappointment just as I had.

Don't get me wrong, the phone is awesome, and I still love it very much, but lets just say that I will not be putting it even near a glass of water next time around. Hope this post can help save a few people from suffering the same fate as I am in the future.

Thank You.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] CAL7:
Curious if you're going to make a warranty claim. The waterproof feature is a Catch-22: there's no way to substantiate the user's claim that the flaps were all properly sealed, so Sony will say that water intrusion was due to carelessness.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kentaurest:
I washed my phone under tap and screen went after 20 min black.

Then I vacuumed the hell out of it, both flaps open, one connected to the vacuum cleaner.

Flap markers were white btw.

After vacuuming screen was alive again, but digitizer was dead.

Warranty service accepted the phone, no problem with that, but they couldn't fix it.

At first after the screen change, the vol up didn't work.

So I sent it back, when I got it mic didn't work: my calls had noise and voice wasn't audible, plus other party got his own echo back. Without noise supression It was usable.

Sent it back, but after returning mic was still broken, vibrator didn't work and pressure test showed only +-1mbar (it should be about +-10mbar) so it wasn't waterproof anymore.

I made a complaint and got a new phone.

All that back and forth took about 6 weeks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] smooth_gl:
This is just bad luck. You have a faulty unit. Mine is working fine after some movies into the pool, soda spilled all over it, etc. Thanks for the friendly warning :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yoorie016:
waterPOOF

A friendly reminder:

Just don't use the phone on any type of water, though it can survive on the rain but as far as i concern, i don't trust the waterproof/water resist of xperia. Don't also use water to cooloff your phone if it overheats. Remove any protective case and cool it down for a minute.

For more protection, you can look for a waterproof pouch with double zip lock if you want to use the phone in watery place. I always use that kind of pouch and i can still shoot nice photos.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] thobi3:
hey,

i got my phone when it came out and washed it every other week with tap water. last week it suddenly turned itself off 20 minutes after i washed it. it kept turning off with three vibrations. after a day i could start it again. two days later the touchscreen didn't work in the center stripe. i sent it in and got a new phone after 3 days. just setting it up right now :)

i'm disappointed but also happy. anyway, just ordering two new phones for my family which makes it #3 and 4.

so yes, it's not perfectly water proof, but the service was ok (after 3 calls).

cheers,

thobi
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Gh0stzer0:
Oh wow, to think that someone had actually suffered the same fate as I am. For the warranty claim, I did sent it back for repairs but after I got back, it just came back with more problems. As a result I had to send and resend the phone for a total of 3 times. In the end, I also requested a new phone and they did agree to it (After countless phone calls and arguments). However, the overall process took me over 4 months (no kidding) and god knows how I feel during that time. Not every country's Sony service centre was excellent and mine was particularly bad. Still, I'm glad you could get a new one for your troubles as well :) .
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PeppeBove:
People,

I have an old z3c, second hand, with back cover replaced by my self and a shabby flap.

Trust me, I am a perfect unconscious without care for his own things.

This to say that I'm used to clean my phone under tap water, and during these holidays, I make some videos under river and waterfall, and also a lot of photo and video under the sea!

Yes, I'm unconscious and luky, but just to say that not all z3c are defective in waterproof
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] `Ghost`:
When a phone or anything says ''water proof'' to me that means ''Slightly better than water resistant''

I dont ever intend to submerge my Z3C in water. To me it just adds a little bit of peace of mind when it comes to spills or accidental submersion and a quick pull out of water.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yoorie016:
Why wash it every week? haha..
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sky61019:
I also met this problem last week. It was not really water-proof.

I only washed it for 30 seconds and the screen went dead. I send it to the support to repair it, after they check it they found it is impossible to repair. Hopeful they send me a new one back. I swear this time I will never trust its water proof.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] astmacca:
One thing i have noticed about the seals under the flaps. They need to be carefully cleaned BEFORE you close up the flap. Not a problem for the one over the SIM card as its rare to open this.

Major issue i think for the one over the USB port. I have usually found that after opening there are "bits" in there where they can interfere with the seal. They accumulate on the phone and case in normal use, and then drop in when you open the flap.

I use a magnetic charger and really only use the USB for large file transfers from or to the PC, and under my PC screen i have a good quality paintbrush and i check to make sure no hairs get left behind. :)

The seal just slides in much like a lot of "tough" cameras. Pressing the flap in hard makes no difference. The seal and mating surface must be clean and smooth.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
Enough!!!

I have read so many different posts about this phone not being waterproof and it really has to stop!

I have had my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact since november last year and I have no idea about how many times it has been under water...

This phone is sold to be waterproof!

There are countless of commercials from Sony showing the phone used under water!

If the phone gets damaged because it has been under water it is a warranty issue (if you have not closed the flaps... ;) ) because you have a faulty unit - they do exist you know, but that does not mean that all Z3C are faulty...

You can use this phone down to 1,5 meters depth for 30 minutes without being afraid of anything - the phone is WATERPROOF...

I have many underwater videos and photos - what's else to do when you get bored when you are out fishing...?

This is taken with my Z3 Compact in Norway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZRAL7Tcln0

Just use your phone... :good::cool:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Gh0stzer0:
Wew

The fact that you have read countless post about this phone being not waterproof just proved my point. I did not post this just so I can diss the Z3C. It is a great phone and I have submerged and wash it under the tap water before and it worked fine. But with time (1 moth and a half) that is not so anymore. However, the purpose of this post is only to serve as a friendly WARNING for fellow Z3C users. If you have read my post and you still feel confident about its waterproofness when some commercial tells you so, then by all means submerge it as you please. I'm just here to exercise caution as I do not want others to suffer the same fate as I did. When your phone is breached by water, and your screen goes completely dark, dead and the warranty no longer covers it....Well, I hope you are a rich person :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
Wew...

Well my point is that there are many threads (not countless... ;)) about this phone not being waterproof and that is just WRONG!

This phone is build to be waterproof, it is commercialized to be waterproof (and yes!!! when Sony focuses that much on how you can use this phone under water then you should also expect the phone to actually be waterproof...) and it is sold to be waterproof...

As long as the flaps are closed properly it is waterproof!

Every post about the phone not being waterproof is a warranty issue because it's a faulty unit.

It's very nice of you to come with this friendly warning but it's almost the same as saying to people, that they should not drive around on their bicycle because they might risk to get a puncture...

So far my phone has been under water many times - also in rivers with strong water - and there hasn't been any problems what so ever and if it should ever come to the day, that my phone breaks due to this usage then it will be a warranty issue because the phone is supposed to be waterproof... :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kentaurest:
The problem is imo in the rear glass or screen sealing which starts leaking over time.

Markers under the flaps were white when my phone died after washing under the tap.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Well, so much for SONY standing behind the waterproof claim:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/10/sony-changes-stance-on-waterproof-phones-do-not-use-underwater/

This is technically the right thing for Sony to do, but it sure is complete BS that they wait until after they sell millions of these under false pretenses.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Well I will still continue using my phone under water... Sony sold this phone to be waterproof and just because a tech site brings an article about problems it doesn't mean that the normal user should have heard about it... ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
I agree, but the tech site is doing what Sony isn't, and that's being transparent with this new info. Song is basically making changes to its warranty and support policy without informing the customer. If something does happen to our phones, then Sony will say it's not covered because of this fine print.

If HTC ever makes another compact flagship, Sony would lose me as a customer.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
well, add me to the list of people who lost their phone to water damage.

I made the pressure test before entering in a small lake and it all looked alright. after taking some pictures the screen started switching itself on and off.. I immediately switched the phone off, took out the memory and sim cards, left the flaps open and put in in a dry place. Once I got home I put it in a bowl of rice (which is supposed to absorb the remaining humidity) but after a night it still wouldn't switch on.

I have used the phone under water on several occasions before, so it's not that it was faulty from the beginning. What I noticed is that on the inside of the flaps there is a small rubber sealing, which came off almost by itself when I opened the flap to get the water out.. I guess that could be the issue.

Farewell to the z3c forums, I won't spend another 400 bucks on a z3c so for the time being, I'll revert my old s4 mini..
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] najodleglejszy:
XperiaBlog misread the statement. it only refers to Z3+ and Z5 line, it hasn't changed for Z3/Z3c.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] -Zteam-:
I just wanted to point out that Sony has updated it's statement regarding the warranty, Sony states the warranty is the same as before and hasn't changed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
it all comes down to water pressure so if you jump in the river and the water flows faster then it does in the tuvb then you gonna have problems. Same with people that went diving with the phone....
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
Exactly what Sony support told me today too, so I'll just keep on taking pictures under water without any doubts... ;)

Well my Z3C died two days ago from gently washing it under the sink with low pressure fresh water. I only did it to get the sand off of it and have done this before with out issues. It looks like the screen seal had failed, but I didn't know that until it had been to late.

I am hoping they repair or replace it for free as right now I am stuck with a nearly $400 brick. It is %100 dead and not coming back. I could not get it to respond to powering off so the screen flashed on and off for a long time before going dead forever. I know how to seal it and I don't open the flaps much if at all so really I don't think that was my fault. Guess I shouldn't have bet so highly on it doing well with water.

I will be much more careful in the future as I don't feel like blowing $400 or so every 6 months on a smart phone. I might just get a Z5 compact if they won't replace this one for free as I don't know what other kind of phone I would want any more as I don't care to own anything over 5in and I really loved this phone before it died.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BlueZ-:
Everytime, before use the phone underwater, I mean..really...Everytime! Test if the pressure inside the telephone changes (by pressing it a little bit, not much, on the screen) and if it will change, then is impossible that water will enter. Because it's a closed system.

Hi, I managed to finally find Czech ROM for my Acer Liquid Z200 that works.

Unfortunately, it is Mobile HTC DESIRE 210 and wants me to go on the camera. Otherwise operate everything.

Need advice whether to go to work to repair the camera, I try various guides, install gallery3d.apk, but still the same error "Unable to connect to camera"

be a script? or any instruction available, whether you use the camera of HTC or the original ACER, due to the resolution, the chip ...?

I would like to help, not to go so far nothing to install or locate.

Thank you.

Trying to unlock my Z3 compact bootloader and I'm stuck on trying to install the ADB Fastboot driver. I get the following error when I try to install through Device Manager:

"The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering."

I've tried searching the forums for info on this error but all I seem to find are posts from 2013 and earlier complaining about problems with Windows 8, and one suggestion to try turning off security checks for installing drivers which didn't work for me.

I'm using Windows 10, have downloaded and installed the latest Java SDK, Android SDK, and Google USB drivers, and I got the Fastboot driver from here on Sony's website. (Basically I've done everything this video describes up until the point the driver failed to install.)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit: Solved - I'm an idiot and missed the instruction about rebooting after disabling security checks for drivers!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Cycles4Fun:
I have been talking to at&t customer support (without success BTW) about a strange problem. Here it is:

I recently received a replacement 8525. My previous 8525 had the original ROM and the latest has the new ROM upgrade. On GPRS, the old phone would connect to isp.cingular access point name but the new phone won't. The new phone will only connect to wap.cingular access point name. (Both phones used/use the My ISP (without the proxy) network.)

With my previous phone, I was able to download radio show podcasts by going to the website of the radio show and then click on the download link. A "Save As" dialog would display and I would save the mp3. On the new phone the PIE displays that it can't display the page.

Here is the strange part. When I connected to my Wi-Fi at home (NOT through a PC but directly to the wireless router from the phone) I could download the mp3 just like the previous phone. I went to the web site, clicked the link, and received the "Save As" dialog.

This looks to me that there is nothing wrong with the phone since the mp3 could be downloaded through the Wi-Fi connection, but there is a problem getting the download through the GPRS connection.

Am I wrong in this? Any ideas will be welcome, I'm getting tired of talking to at&t.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rpw123:
I had the same problem before.

When ever your plan or phone changes (or anything with your account) your isp connectivity is turned off.

What you must do is call at&t and tell them to turn your isp.cingular back on.

If they give you some lip (I haven't had any lip from them)Just tell them that your VPN will only work using isp.cingular.

I've had to do this 3 times.

Also don't forget to remove the "EnableAutoDetect" from the registry...that will also stop PIE from working under isp.

HTH
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
I'm assuming you have the PDA connect plan if you're trying to use isp.cingular, right? Also, if you're using wap.cingular and you can't access the web as usual, you probably have a proxy set up. Check that out and report back.
