[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupysoup:
That's very weird, what did u replace, and how did u do the replace, did u do the frame as well, and when u took the batt out did it come out easy it did u fight with it, I've heard cases of this happening, and other issues caused by damaging the battery during a fix

PS, no problem man, I know exactly how u feel lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMaio:
I bought a pre-assembled frame-display-touch. The battery came out easily even if I slightly forced it in the bottom. Anyway before replacement the battery was completely discharged... it has been completely discharged for almost two months since I broke the lcd in September. Left the phone disassembled on the desk for two days. After reassemble I plugged in a 2A Samsung charger to fill it up... initially everything was working properly, made a few photos with both cameras to check, a call and some random checks.. still on charge. On the second call I made, the microphone stopped working, so was the third... turned off the device, back on and everything was messed up like it is now.

Well a battery failure could actually make sense...

hey i have exactly the same problem with my nexus 5, i haven't opened it neither changed battery or screen but i'm suffering the same issue since a few days ago. have you managed to find a fix?. in my case it just started to do that suddenly. as in the video is totally unusable, i reinstalled latest stock firmware throught the recovery menu but with no luck, everything is ultra slow now :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMaio:
I didn't fix it eventually... but from my experience in fixing PCs, I believe that it could actually be a power issue related to either the battery or some power circuit.

If you've nothing to lose and some dollars to spend, you could try a new battery and see if it works!

Wood and carbon are the best !

Hispanico
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] reach3r:
I agree. I like carbon the most for my black Z5C, however the dark wood also looks promising.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Psykhe:
Those really do look quite nice. I go normally totally commando on my phones, but I am seriously considering getting one of these for the back.

Looks better than the glass IMO, should make a cracked back if it happens far lass annoying and it will likely make it less slippery.

Anyone got those already? I would have a few questions:

- the z5c back is a bit recessed - but how is the back with the skin applied? Is it higher than the frame or is it even or still recessed?

- which version do you have and how is the grip on it how how does it feel? I am curious how the carbon, titanium, leather and wood versions compare there.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] willumpie82:
I used to buy dbrand for al my phones but switched to the beautiful crafted balolo.de wooden panels. Gives your phone a truly unique expression and feel, waiting for my balolo order to arrive (had one for my previous z3c)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Radeon1337:
I have an red carbon extremeskin on my z5c but it basically the same, the skin is maybe 0.1mm higher than the frame so the back feels a little bit more rounded. The grip is definitely better with the skin on :) The skin also have cutouts for the Sony and nfc logo, looks ok but not great.

Extremeskins z5c
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Psykhe:
Thanks for the Info!

Personally I like dbrands version more, I do not like the cutouts for the Sony and NFC Logo on the xtremeskins version.

In case anyone is interested in grip improvements, I found this report regarding the different grip factors of different dbrand skins.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Notchr302:
I like those. Post a pic when you get it if you wouldn't mind
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] willumpie82:
received my balolo sheet yesterday, see attachements
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] M!tch:
the wood looks nice (i miss my moto x walnut) but it's way too thick for me.

it would be nice to replace the original back with wood. (without losing waterproofness)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Notchr302:
Thanks for the pics

I think I might be a little worried about it catching and lifting as it sticks up a bit. It looks great Though!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] willumpie82:
I had this in m z3c, was the same thickness and it never came loose, the now sharp edges will be soft in a few days.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] reach3r:
I actually reconsidered getting a DBrand skin after the balolo link was posted and since I'm a very big fan of wood in a lot of applications and also from germany I really could not pass on these.

I just ordered the walnut version for my black z5c.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] thedosbox:
Looks good. Subscribing to this thread as I want to see how it holds up if you drop your phone :silly:

More seriously, that looks like it could be a good way to protect the glass back without adding a lot of bulk.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Zurginator:
I normally hate white phones, but that white/wood combo looks super classy.

Anyways I got 3 Dbrand skins during their sale (Black leather, Mahogany, Black Titanium), so I'll post pics of those when they arrive (likely around thanksgiving).

[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
How easy was it to attach? I always worry that my fumbling fingers will fail and it looks like you only have one shot; no re-positioning.

Another question...is the wood sealed or oiled? In your past experience, does the wood start to darken as time passes from the oil on your hand? I would prefer that it DID, but am just curious about the finish.

Last question: I'm in the US. Anyone have Balolo deliver in the US? How long did it take to get the product?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] willumpie82:
ease of attaching depends on your your fixed hands, tip, don't do it while you are half a sleep or drunk ;)

it is not sealed or oiled, my bamboo and previous oak darkens in a few weeks, also the sharp edges are gone after some time. one thing is that because of the structure and softness of the bamboo it chips easily but not such that it looks crap.

after a few weeks still happy with it!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
One last question: Have you ever tried to remove it from the phone? Can it be removed, for instance, if the phone has to be sent in for service?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] reach3r:
[MENTION=441142]rebecker[/MENTION] my order took nearly two weeks to arrive, which I assume is due to them handcrafting every order once it comes in. So for USA based on my experience I would guess 2-3 weeks.

The wood is oiled and waxed according to their website. While I am not competent enough to verify this exactly I can say for sure it is not sealed and still feels like wood.

I'll throw some of my pics in as well well, for good measure.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
Thanks for the pics. Looks like you positioned the wood perfectly. Is there any repositioning possible, or does the adhesive stick immediately?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Psykhe:
My Dbrand black carbon skin.

It sits quite flush within the small depression in the back. It is a tiny bit above the height of the frame, but almost unnoticeable. Maybe 0.1 mm. Anyone who does not know it is not the original back won't notice it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] reach3r:
Repositioning was easy for me. I corrected it two times before firmly pressing it on. While it is very sticky, I had no problems adjusting it.

Regarding removal: I watched two videos where it was removed and while it was very sticky it went off in one piece and without residue in both cases.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
Where did you find the removal videos?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] reach3r:
phew, I found one in my watched history: https://youtu.be/Fey96az02M8?t=2m55s . It's a german review.

Nice addition though: For my order the discount code in his video description still worked and got me 15% off: balolo-alexeystech
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
Thanks. Sorry I didn't see this first. Already ordered. So...no discount for me. :( ;)

Glad to see that the backing can be removed. Wonder if it's actually reusable. Well, hopefully, I'll never have a need to remove it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Zurginator:
Finally got my Dbrand order.

Rocking black titanium for now - it actually matches the frame quite well.

The cuts are very sightly off in some places, others are perfect. The bottom is too short by half a mm or so, the camera is cut too far left by about the same and the flash is even further off, almost a full mm. The width and top cuts are perfect though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] MO3iusONE:
These look pretty sweet. I wish they had a cutout for the Sony logo similar to the Nexus phones.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] harryw66:
These skins look top - but I do occasionally drop my phone - so would be too scared to use without some kind of side/edge protection...

Not been able to find a decent side bumper only protection - that I could use with one of these skins...shame.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] dillalade:
Would you say the size of this item is an exact fit (or exact enough in your opinions) of the z5c's original backplate?

I mean precisely exact, or is it ever so slightly smaller (width and/or length wise.)

I ask this pedantically, as I'm tempted to purchase one in the event to replace the original backplate with this item (in the effort to reduce the wood protruding upwards - as flush as possible.)

On dimensions alone do you see it a perfect size.

Obviously I need to address the lens covers which will be a simple transfer from the original backplate using a trusted heat gun.

And a gasket/adhesive is readily available from eBay.

Loss of waterproofing qualities you may say, but this doesn't concern me. Not one to use the phone around water, not a feature that effects my use case for a phone [emoji106]

Use a skin like dbrand some may say, I don't like the slight mismatch in size of skins [emoji111]

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] willumpie82:
The Balolo sheet is not a replacement for the glas, it just a decal (made of real wood) that sticks to the glass.

The fit is nearly perfect, but if i would be really picky, there is a small misalignment around the camera lens and flash, but nothing really worth complaining about
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] dillalade:
Thabsk for getting back to me.

Yep, I appreciate its not a backplate replacement. But I'm going down that route anyway. I like custom things.

I have a yellow z5c.

I've ordered the bamboo sheet, a white replacement z5c housing, black camera and volume buttons.

I look forward to transplanting my hardware into its new white/bamboo housing (with black buttons and black screen.)

It may not work.

But if it does then it's gonna look pretty slick.

If it doesn't then I'll go with a black backplate (for the contrast.)

Fingers crossed
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] willumpie82:
Sounds like a challange ;) don't forget to order new seals/glue sheets for the back plate, I once repaired a shatterd z3+, it was really hard to get it closed properly, e.g. if some tape got damaged the innerthings get to thick and the rear plate won't stay put. was a real pain in the backside. in that sence i prefer to repair iphones, way less sticky stuff
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] dillalade:
Nice one.

Yep ordered the necessary sealant/gasket for both LCD and backplate [emoji106]

Similarly I've replaced the backplate on z3c and this z5c. It's a 3minute procedure, with a heat gun.

I think the main challenge lies in transplanting the lens and flash covers from original backplate to the wooden sheet. I'm confident for now.

Will keep you posted either way.

Thanks again for the details on the sheet dimensions etc
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] civicsr2cool:
I ordered a replacement back to try and strip it down to clear and expose the insides, I think your phone might be a good candidate for something similar! Please share the outcome. And FYI the white housing is pearl white.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] dillalade:
Cool. Pearl could be even better perhaps

Mind you there's not much to look at once the backplate is removed. Majority of what you'll see will be the battery which has a lot of writing on it...

You could use a (or 2 sandwiched) tempered backplate protector as a replacement backplate.

However you will see the sealant/gasket due to the see through quality your trying to achieve. Good luck

All of my parts arrive next week, so hopefully by following weekend I can attempt the plan altleast.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] hyungwoo0312:
I hope this doesn't count as post bumping, but I'd like to post a picture of the skin applied to mine just to show how it looks. This is Titanium Black back skin on a Graphite Black model.

The skin isn't what I'd call slippery despite looking like metal, and the fit is nearly perfect. I hid it in this shot, but the bottom is ever so slightly misaligned. Could have been my fault, but I certainly won't mind it in everyday use. It's definitely a step up from a plastic screen protector which was more slippery and didn't fit so well.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] ushoda:
Maybe this is out of place but does anyone know some skin like the ones posted here but mirror like instead of wood like or metal like material?

I would love to have the look of the premium, at least in the back.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] civicsr2cool:
Did this ever come about? I've got a replacement chassis and have been pondering getting it hydro dipped with some sort of design. I planned on keeping it around in case I cracked the screen I could start the build but I've dropped this phone 100 times or so and no damage what so ever lol. Kind of want to tear it apart and start the build.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] mmceorange:
I have the Dbrand mahogany skin on the back of my black z5c.. I really like it. It even has a little bit of texture and fills in the slight recess perfectly.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] macrostr:
Hi,

I smash my ZU screen 2 months ago, I was in a hurry and there is no ZU on the stock here so I buy a LG G3. That device is rock solid specs, roms, community is really good but can not feel comfortable with it. You can see lots of people out there using the same device. I give to my dad and go for an nexus 6. I'm using it for 3 weeks. Most of you know the device no need to tell about it but it is thick and bulky. Ne feel of premium device. Early updates are good but buggy. I use it but I don't love it. LG G Line, Sammy S and Note Line are all good devices, all you can fine well cookeded roms for them like CM variants, AOSP variants. But it is same for the Z Ultra too.

Last night I see the broken ZU on the desk, take it on my hands. It feels sooooo slick, premium and special. As a fellow ZU buddy of you, my advice is just stick to your beast-giant-premium ZU. Other devices are bad but only the waste of time for a ZU user. Only alternative for me is rumored Z5 Ultra for know. I beleive we'll is in in next 4 months may be sooner.

Just want to share :)

I have to agree with you. My ZU touch screen was not working. I bought a C5 ultra. I thought they share the similar spec. But it can't replicate the premium feel on the hand.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bennykk:
How do you find the Xperia C5? I like the look of the super slim bezels. How do you find the camera performance - it is the only issue I ever had with my ZU.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yan99033:
Slow camera launch and shutter speed. Other than that I have no issue, I am not nit-picky about the colour accuracy and low light performance. However, I do notice that photo can be blurry if my hand shakes a little bit. I think it is because the camera module does not have optical image stabilization.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Droidsan:
Heheee:D:D I feel you buddy. Don't give up on this 6.4' beautiful monster. 4 months of ZU use and I wouldn't trade off for no 2015 device yet, 2 years since release and this ni99@ still feels rock solid and commands respect among equals!

Now waiting for Xperia Z 5 Ultra : A better camera with LED Flash, Less bezels &more battery juice maybe!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] paulotex:
I have my ZU for almost 2 years now (January 2014) and I've started looking for alternatives. Besides screen size (anything smaller than 6" is too small), the thickness (or thinness) is very important to me. In that area, there is no quality competition.

The Xperia C5 is too thick, the X5 Premium is close, but a bit thicker and the screen is under 6".

There are phones from other makers, like the Huawei P8 max, but they don't have the beautiful Xperia design and feel. Somehow they feel like an augmented phone while the ZU really looks like something that is designed to be like this from the beginning, balanced and well proportionate in its size.

So, just like you guys, still no solution. I'll keep the ZU for now, just bought a new USB flap for it. And if something breaks, I think I'll buy the same model on eBay.
