[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] dermaze:
Hello,

let me throw another hat in the ring: I bought my screen assembly from parts4repair, they sell them starting at 32 €. I bought the one for 42 €, as it is supposed to be the original replacement part. I did not realize any different colors. Delivery took about 6 weeks and packaging was really good (stable, well protected).

In another thread I already posted about this little project, here it is again:

I did completely disassemble my Z1compact recently and replaced back housing and the screen, using adhesive stickers (they were even said to be the original, real deal. I cleaned the contact areas with cleaning alcohol prior to reassembling the phone, so everything was just as intended). Everything worked fine, looked just as new - but after only 2 days, the adhesive did already start to loosen again in different areas!

I told a friend of mine about the problem (he fixes mobile phones the whole day long, as a profession), and he answered that they never use the stickers, but a special kind of silicone! The important part is, that it is a silicon which hardens without releasing acid (normally acetic acid is fumed out), so the electronic circuits do not become damaged. I bought one like this: Silicon Adhesive and everything worked fine It's been two months now and there are no problems, it's even water proof again.

Some comments: The silicone needs at least 24h to harden, I placed my phone under 4 heavy books in order to apply steady pressure during that time. That may have been a little bit too heavy, however, because the screen is a little bit lower than before and I can see small, somewhat "lighter" areas right where the contacts of the screen are, just the kind like pressing your finger on a lcd display too much. So better use only 2 books during hardening the silicone :)

Happy tinkering!

I got the same problem with my phone - I broke digitizer on my weekend trip... I don't know guys if it's an option for you, but in Poland you can replace screen much cheaper:

https://www.w-support.pl/klienci-indywidualni/koszt-naprawy.html (sorry, it's in polish... w-support is official Sony service - whole screen replacement costs 399 PLN (less than 100€)

If you want to do it yourself - you can look at our biding service - allegro:

http://allegro.pl/listing/listing.php?order=m&string=d5503+lcd&search_scope=category-19285&bmatch=base-relevance-w2-ele-1-3-0812

I bought LCD with digitizer, tools and glue for about 200PLN (less than 50€) and the seller claims it's an original one... Of course there may be some problems with foreign shipment but I think it shall work in EU for most of the sellers.

I let you know in a few day - I am waiting for delivery right now...

any news?

i need to buy a new screen and i need to find the best value for money;) [MENTION=5267217]Morfarj[/MENTION] [MENTION=4322081]eEnzo0[/MENTION] are you still happy with your screens?

I just bought a 30E sceen from ebay and it pretty bad because of the gamma levels...tried to adjust with white balance and it got a bit better..but still nowhere near as good as the original. For a 30euro screen i think i'll live with it..

I'm too from Poland and price for LCD replacing is...funny. Trying to find cheapest LCD to make it working for 2 months.. Any suggestions?

I made a post HERE about a water damaged screen, long story short after buying two cheap screens online and sending them both back for a refund because I wasn't happy with either of them I bit the bullet and sent my phone to Sony for a genuine OEM replacement to be fitted. Neither of the cheap screens came with the ASF and didn't have the foam that was attached to the back of my original.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] broky:
you must really love your z1c to pay that money,hope you enjoy it!:)

so it s a big difference sony OEM screen vs the cheap ones?

i replaced mine with cheap one(two times) and both times found the colours <<washed>> and low brightness too in comparison with OEM.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] SXUsr:
A few People have said to me just buy a new one, but I do love it and want to keep it to use as my spare when I finally do, I want another Compact but the last few just haven't done it for me. It's killed me using my old Xperia Ray this last week and still have another week and a half to go. Going to flash GB to it this weekend and see if that makes it more bearable.

The first screen had lifted a little so that made me question the adhesive too, from reading online I then thought it was because I hadn't cleaned the frame properly, so made sure I had before laying the second screen, but that eventually started to lift too. I found the same as you in regards to the screen, the colours just weren't right and had to use full brightness which then obviously chews through the battery. I even reflashed my phone to see if that made a difference, as we know there are two different panels used I thought maybe when the phone gets reflashed it may configure it for the display that's attached but it didn't.

If the X Compact had a better spec I would have bought it and a cheap screen for the Z1C as that would be going in the wardrobe along with the Arc S and Ray hopefully never to be seen again for another 50 years, but as it's going to be my daily for a little while longer I just want it perfect.

UPDATE:

Just heard back from Sony today and not good news. First of all they emailed me to say a quote was available to view in my support which basically said it was uneconomical to repair and offered an equivalent phone for a cost of £250+, baffled by their quote and comments I then got straight on the phone as all my Z1C needs to function is a screen , the operator told me to get the phone back to a guaranteed status the technician had wanted to replace more parts. To a degree I can see where they are coming from but having already had two screens on with no issues other than the poor quality of them it's quite annoying.

So as my hand has been forced a screenless Z1C will be going on ebay as soon as I get it back, and I'll be ordering a Z5C tonight.

I spoke with a high level manager at Sandisk US today regarding a project I am involved with that utilizes micro sdhc cards. The project requires as much memory as possible and I asked them when the 8GB would be available for testing and for purchase.

I was told that testing units to qualified partners would be available in Q4 of this year with full production around the beginning of 2008.

Any other information you get from a possible seller is suspect and should be viewed as inaccurate.

Unfortunately this will keep the cost of the 4GB high until 2008.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] nicholasendean:
Someones pulling your leg!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alylea:
I kind of doubt it since I was speaking with the OEM Marketing Manager and the Sales group for Sandisk USA in California. Maybe things are different in Europe but this is the company line in the states.

Also, keep in mind that I wasn't calling as a consumer, but rather as a potential OEM partner so I have no reason to doubt their word and they have no reason to screw with me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] nicholasendean:
I have been using an 8GB MICRO SD for about 2 weeks. A lady friend in Germany sent it to me to borrow. It works perfectly with the rom on my Hermes: HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108

I am not able to tell others what I dont know but what I do know is the company who produce the version I am messing about with produce internal components and similar to Nokia. The card simply has a code on it with the number 8 at the end. It also works in my Card reader through windows XP. It recognizes it on the laptop too.

Point is that it is 8GB.

I will be glad when I can get a hold of a released version as it may not be the fastest at copying to and from via the PC but it is great to be able to store more films and music.

I meant by pulling you leg, that there are several others from what I can gather who are about to release the 8GB and above over the coming weeks and it may pay you to look further than Sandisk is you are in a hurry.

I fully understood the angle you were trying to explain and realized you meant you were chatting to them as a non consumer.(a potential OEM partner)

UPDATED: The "8" is NOT an "8" it is a "symbol" that looks like half a "B" with a line protruding through it. It means nothing to me as I have no idea what it stands for. The code looks like "Be33-f" what ever that means. Maybe someone can add some light on it. I have a feeling it is simply a code and thats it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alylea:
Hmmmm, very interesting.

So it sounds like you have a pre-production piece from whomever. The poeople at Sandisk seemed to indicate that there were some in the hands of the phone OEM's already but they didn't offer any hope of me getting one. The quantity my program needs is in the hundreds, the phone people are talking in the 10's of thousands. I'm just a small **** to them...

Not a bad idea for me to look else where. Maybe Kingston, A-Data or PNY...

Enjoy your 8GB, the rest of us are green with envy...

i know i am...and drooling...but am stuck right now whether to get an 8gb pro duo stick for my son's psp....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] DaVince:
Did you say Beef?! :D

I just hope the new 8Gb cards wont have a negative impact on the transfer rates.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] 3waygeek:
While you're waiting for your 8GB chips, I've noticed a few online retailers taking pre-orders for 6GB microSDHCs -- at least one says they'll be available as of Aug. 23.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alylea:
Hi 3waygeek,

Thanks for the info. Any idea who those retailers are?

I have a call scheduled with the N.E. rep for Sandisk later today. Maybe he can do something for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] 3waygeek:
BLT and PCSuperStore both say they'll have them on the 23rd.

8gb Problems...!!!!

Update on 8GB Micro SD Card.

I have been using an 8GB Micro SD card for a while now and was more than happy with the results. Up until 17th (Fri) everything was fine. But I am adding this post to let others know that the card and phone no longer work together. The point is, I cannot access the card from my Hermes any longer. Its DOES however show up perfectly ok from the Card reader on the PC. Resco Explorer and the MS built in Explorer does NOT pick the card up. I have no idea what is going on. I have reformatted the card and also reinstalled after formating the Hermes the rom I have been using. Nothing has worked. My 4GB card works perfectly ok so it is definitely something to do with the Hermes not being able to work with the 8GB Card.

I'm in a rush so forgive the quick post to the thread. Just adding my notes to anyone who is thinking of going along the same route, as I have concerns now about the 8GB working reliably with the Hermes I have. It may well be the Rom I am using? I am not able to put another rom on my phone at the mo due to other commitments.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alylea:
Hmmmm...

I too wonder what happened? What ROM are you using? Did you add/delete any apps prior to the problem? Crashes/lockups within 24 hours? Do you reboot every day or ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alylea:
BLT has pushed the date to 9/4.

My connection in the Sandisk OEM group is still talking about Q1 2008 for the 8GB. OEM says that it may become available to the retail channels before OEM gets them.

There is a sample order booked for me @ Sandisk but the ship date is open.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] chingy213:
high level manager? - LOL

You spoke to a Rep that claims to be the manager - i know, im in the industry
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] nicholasendean:
refering back to my 8GB card problems: I hardly ever needed to reset my Hermes and at most I would say twice a week at the most did it need a kick start or reset.

This is what surprised me about the 8GB card suddenly refusing to work. I have since changed ROms and now have changed from the

1. previous::HERM_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.54.707.3_6275_CustomRUU

2. new:: TNT_2.0_official_6mb

I have tried to use the 8GB with the new rom but alas it still not acknowledged. I have no idea what to make of this as the card DID work and for a good three weeks until it suddenly stopped being picked up by the PDA. However as before it IS working ok as my Dell latitude laptop picks the MicroSD card up every time I insert it into the reader.

Its one of the craziest situations I have come across to date/

Incidentally, on a more positive note: the new TNT rom is the fastest I have ever used. I opted for the official version to save on space and it is great. Still doesn't pick up the card but I give up.

Am sticking with my previous 4GB MicroSD.

I digress........
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alylea:
Hi Chingy,

Actually, I have been working with the Product Manager, Natl. OEM Sales Manager, and the Eastern Regional OEM Sales Manager for Sandisk in California in addition to the OEM rep company President and salesman for my area.

My emails and phone conversations have been with all of the above so yes, I feel my information is accurate at least from the OEM division standpoint. I was told that the Retail group is a separate entity from the OEM group so in fact they may hit retail sooner but they didn't know anything one way or the other.

Interesting that you are n the industry, drop me a PM and let me know what you do. I'm in IT Security big time, maybe there's synergy here.

I would cancel my Sprint contract, buy a Lumia 950 and move to T-mobile. I cannot find a phone that runs Android that is enjoyable to use anymore due to the size so I would switch to a Windows 10 device. The Nexus 6P is too big and the Nexus 5X runs like **** and isn't worth $200. I will be using my Nexus 5 until 11/19/16 which is when I can switch to T-mobile and buy a phone rather than a phablet.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosincredible:
6P regardless. The Note has no 128GB option and the iPhone doesn't have stereo speakers or Android. No other Android has speedy carrier-free (I'm with AT&T) updates. The Moto Pure camera and performance can't compete.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
I suppose the only other phone I've considered at this stage, with your parameters, would be the Blackberry Priv. A nearly stock Android phone with top specs and blackberry security, although development would probably be DOA, it would still make for an interesting experience.

Does anyone know if the ZTE V765M Model (Also known as Blade Q, as well as DTAC Joey Turbo 4.0, or ZTE Leo Q1) with the same MT6572 as these work with any of these roms? It has a 4.0-inch screen, 4GB Rom, and says it has only 512MB Ram (not 1GB Ram as these have). Mine is the DTAC Joey one, which is from Thailand. Also, my current rom is: V765M_Z74_DTAC_1.02-20131209-2235, is Android OS 4.2.2, has a Baseband version of MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.VI, 2013/10/26 14:00, and a Kernel Version of 3.4.5.

To note, I have rooted, installed CWM, and have tried out a couple different custom roms, namely for use with the ZTE Leo Q1 version of this phone.
[Blade General] vaserbanix:
[MENTION=1564294]inameiname[/MENTION]

after your detail.s like screen size and ram, i think you have Q Mini not Q.

Becouse Blade Q has 4,5 screen size and 1G of ram.

Make a backup with mtkdroid tools and then compare the scatter files of your phone wit one of blade q or q mini, if you get the same values of mount points that means atleast you will not kill the phone if flash a wrong rom.Then chech the specification of each phone before flas a new rom.

And most important, dont flash a custom rom if you have some doubts

I have updated my Walton Primo RM 2 via WiFi once. Then I've rooted my device. Now it says "Your system is damaged. Wireless update is disabled" whenever I try to update via wirelessly.

I know that you can not get official updates normally after rooting your device. So. I tried unrooting the device, but still showing the same error message.

I've cleared data of FOTA update provider and tried again. Didn't work.

I did the root using KingRoot and other than this issue, my phone works fine.

How can I solve this problem. Is there a option by which I can delete some system files using root explorer to solve the issue? Other than flashing a new custom ROM what can I do?
