[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki117:
Hey guys, I was planning on switching from a Zenfone 2 4/64gb to a Z5 or even Z3 compact, mainly due to the size. I love my Zenfone, but I loathe it's hugeness, and I'm a "Compact" lover. Now, with the improvements made over the Z3 compact, I'm leaning towards the Z5C. But since the device is relatively new, I'm having troubles finding any defects or stuff that I should know/expect about (like z3's self-cracking screen). What other issues should I expect or be aware?

Here's what I expect:

1) Probable overheating due to SD810 -- 50/50 though since I think they put in the newer SD810, v2.1 I think?

2) Possible faulty flap(s) that compromises water/dust proof

3) Usual button wear and tear, or button defect -- how long before a button wears out?

4) A couple of software issues

What I'm thinking about:

1) Does this device have the self-cracking screen/glass like Z3C?

2) Does this device have a faulty headphone port like Z3C?

3) How large of a gap is there between Z5C and Z3C with regards to specs and features?

4) With respect to #3, is Z5C worth it over the Z3C in the performance and camera aspects?

5) Coming from a Zenfone 2 4/64gb, would it be a downgrade or an upgrade?

Thanks a lot for those who answer! :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
1)heat is most definitely an issue, mine gets so hot I have to stop using it..

2) only one flap and it seems pretty sturdy. This is my first phone witg a flap since old flip phones though.

3) I use double tap to wake, but I have on my eBay watch list new button ribbons and they're surprisingly cheap for a fingerprint scanner!

4) my phone is only days old so I haven't gotten much use on it yet. I need to root and whatnot to get the functionality I want. It's no cm12 but it's not anywhere near as bad as touch wiz.

1) yes, white phones are more prone to it I believe. I found a few threads while looking up what type of screen these have.

2) I came from Samsung s4 mini so I couldn't answer that.

3) the z3 compacts flaps and USB location was enough for me to settle with the s4 mini, i really hate side charging. Z5 fingerprint scanner was the selling point for me on the upgrade!

4) the Z3C is rated for better battery, but the Z5C has a better front camera. Other than that it comes down to ergonomics and processors, which Z5C wins hands down.

5) http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Asus-ZenFone-2,Sony-Xperia-Z5-Compact/phones/9050,9611 I'd say a downgrade in specs, but upgrade in ergonomics just witg size and screen.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki117:
Thanks a lot for the answers! Oh, so the dreaded self-cracking screen is also seen in the z5c. :( Anyway, as much as I want to get one, it looks like it's too expensive here, so I may have to think about it again. Thanks again! I'll close this thread down. :)

Hello there. I have a problem with my Samsung core duos which is not turning on.

I have performed ROOT on this device via KingoApp and I have verified if this app rooted my device and it did. After rooting my device I have tried to unlock the bootloader via EZ-Unlock and after turning off the phone, the phone wont turn on. It doesnt vibrate or blink any of the LED.

Can you please help me on my issue?

Thank you.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solenz:
I'm aware that there is CM 13 available for this but I was looking for an OS that was completely stock. The same that they use in the Nexus devices and the former "Google Play edition" devices. I like that CM uses AOSP as a base but I have no real need for the customization features and I want a simple stock experience :)

Any other options for me besides building myself?

Thanks.

[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Hi! Is there somebody (like me) that wear the watch while takes a shower? Or something like that?

In my case my watch is working perfecly, waiting for the 1.4 update to ensure speaker is working well.
[Huawei Watch] Dima_2005:
Sure it will be ok. But just why would you wear it in the shower?
[Huawei Watch] OnnoJ:
The watch is not water proof but water resistant. Although claimed to be IP67, Huawei advised to take it off before showering. (Cannot find reference anymore unfortunately....)
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Well, I just dont take it off when I do it (this and other non smart watches I had) Its just an habit.
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Yes, anyway it still works. And anywise, I usually never go to swim on pool, I do it on the sea, and in that case is dangerous due to salt, iodine, sand, and other substances in oceans water.
[Huawei Watch] player911:
I swam with my LG G Watch and it has the same rating. Its submersible 3m (10ft) for 30min.

Now when I say swim, I mean I take it in my little backyard 5ft pool. I typically don't "swim" with it, but its in there with me. I try to keep it out of the water. But I love it for when I am on call for work. I can change tracks on Pandora and keep connected when I am relaxing on a raft.

My friend has the ZenWatch 2, same rating, and he showers with his.

All in all I'd say you could. I wouldn't, just so you can clean your wrist off once in a while, but if you jump in with it, it won't hurt it.
[Huawei Watch] Inerthia:
Once, i had a g watch too and while washing my hands the whole screen got filled up with water.

This happened after my watch got repaired, which I think this must have been the reason. No way i could have proven it.
[Huawei Watch] nobnut:
[MENTION=335505]player911[/MENTION]

Umm... before you have lots of people with broken watches moaning at you, IP67 doesn't allow for anything close to 3m (10ft) depth. It is actually 1m (3ft).

[Huawei Watch] redeuxx:
You can shower with it. I have many times, but the screen goes crazy like it's registering multiple constant touches.
[Huawei Watch] maxidrom:
I Used to swim with them in the pool and then went to sauna or Hamam but during last try the watches swiched of and never on again. even after one week service told me that there was a water inside. That means that protection is very weak. I used to have huawei talk band b1 and it was also IP67 but 2 of them where dead after sweaming with them. I suppose that huawei protection is weak. I used to sweam with my SGS 5 in the sea and filmed and nothing happened.
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Yes, for this reason I always turn teather mode on. Lol
[Huawei Watch] esselite:
Maybe if you would took SGS to sauna it would be also dead.

Hi all

yesterday (saturday) I installed the JUVS_HTC_Home_Color and works fine. But this morning (monday) the tab weather there was a moon and if I ckick when appears several days the first one is "Sunday" and I think this is not correct.

the first day should be Monday. I syncronize again and it changes correctly but should not change automaticlly the day in the "One-DAy" tab?

tnaks in advance.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] kbrady:
Same for me.. but I think it's just how the tab is intended to work.. I agree it is a bit s**t..

I used to use the weather today item from SPB and it is much better. the tool downloads the forecasts for the next 5 days and automatically updates the information shown to the correct day.. the thing is that otherwise I like the HTC home thing and I can't use both HTC and SPB plug-in cause it takes just too much place.. so I guess I m stuck with it...

-Ka
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Polleman:
Correct me if i'm wrong, today is sunday but you think it's monday, so your weather should say sunday not monday.

Regards Polleman
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] kkfuti:
sorry It was my mistake.

Today is Sunday and I installed the plugin yesterday (saturday). So when I checked the pda (sunday morning) appeared still the info of the saturday becuase the first day in "several days" view was sunday and should be monday...

the issue is that the weather main view do not change and probably maintain the info of the last day you download or syncronize the forecast. is this correct?

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] petervbeck:
You can select if you want to download the waether automatically or manually.

Maybe that's your problem ?

View attachment 51708
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] kkfuti:
no, this is not the problem.

The problem is when the date changes in the htc home weather "one day" view still appeas a previous date (when it was syncronize) and not "today".

spb weather works very well in this sense because when it is 0:00 automatically changes and put as the first forecast the new day....

thanks

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Ümit:
Hi everyone!

What do you think about the battery life of your phone?

Mine is very bad. I use stock MIUI 7. With minimal use I get maximum 3h 20min SOT.

- No gaming,

- No data (3G, edge...)

- No gps/bluetooth

- Synchronization en Wi-Fi are mosly off.

- Auto screen brightness 30%

- ... its a very minimal usage.

My nexus 4 has 2100mA battery. I got 5u 30 min with similar usega.

Battery life on Mi 4C with 3000mA battery is disappointment for me.

How is it by you?

Edit: same usage with sMiui custom ROM I get 3 days standby, 4h 30m SOT.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] DFurax:
Woaw only 3h20. Try another Rom, like the Xiaobai Cm12.1 for exemple. I'm on it and I have 4/5h. I heard that Cm12 from TS is better for the battery, but I never tryed.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] chasemyass:
Waaay better mate... Try do a factory reset on that miui... Something is definitely bugged there. Also have a look on permission manager and see what is set to sync. Miui isn't the most awesome Rom in terms of battery life just because it has so many sync things set in that framework of theirs,but ur battery drain it's kinda huge... Even on phone with lower mah battery.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mendocino_610:
slm hocam bende eski nexus 4 kullanıcısıyım ve bende memnun değilim açıkçası. nexus 4 ile kıyaslayamam nexus 4 te ne kadar dikkatli kullanırsam kullanayım 3 saat civarı ekran süresi alıyordum ve kullanırken resmen kafayı bozmuştum bitti bitecek diye. mi4c te pek dikkat etmeden kafaya takmadan kullanıyorum 3-3,5 saatin altına pek düşmedim, evde wifiye yüklendiğimde 4 saatide geçiyorum ama 3000 mah pil daha fazlasını vermeliydi. ilk zamanlar 4-4,5 saatin altına hiç düşmezken artık 4 saati nadir geçiyorum bir düşüş var yani. telefonu aldığımdan beri aralıklarla aldığım yüksek süreleri kaydediyorum en sonda bugün kaydetmiştim istersen bir göz atabilirsin.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mendocino_610:

I former nexus4 user too, mi4c better than nexus 4 but 3000mA battery is disappointment for me too. 3g mix use is 3-3,5 sot full wifi use is 4-4,5 sot. it is not good. I try ewerything clean install, wipe, another version miui rom... still bad.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] chasemyass:
Here comes the 1st thing that I learned since I'm an android user... Never ever compare a pure AOSP Android with a custom one... Nexus has so nice battery life because of it's software ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] mendocino_610:
What is SOT on cm12.1 cm13?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cowithgun:
You can improve the battery life of stock MIUI:

1. Disable all Mi Account Sync. Use Google services.

2. Disable "Manage apps' battery usage". The com.miui.analytics tries to automatically monitor behavior of each App and automatically clear them from background based on Xiaomi's profile. This help to prevent unimportant app from continuously doing background transfer, wakelock, etc. However the process itself take too much resources, especially during the first few days when it's trying to learn about each app on the phone. Disabling this help a tons in improving idle power consumption.

3. Update MIUI to China Developer ROM 5.11.1 and later. Since 5.11.1 they fixed a serious battery leak in Default Launcher.

4. Change to OnDemand governor.

Alternatively, just change to SuperLuminal CM13. Turn off "perfd", change to "OnDemand", set Input Boost to 600mhz. You should see noticeable better battery performance.

Light usage: 3 and half days per charge

Heavy usage: 7 SOT per charge

Anyone using amplify and/or greenify? Using miui.eu 6.1.28 and getting so lame battery life even with using those and on demand governor
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cowithgun:
Changing to "ondemand" should see battery benefit compare to default Interactive governor. It's easier and should be more stable.

But if you guys are feeling adventurous, try this Interactive tweak. I put together a script, just download this script and run it in your device.

adb push igp3.txt /sdcard/

adb shell

sh /sdcard/igp3.txt

Don't reboot the phone. You should see noticeable improvement in SOT. If something funny like lag, worse battery, etc, just reboot phone, everything goes back normal.

Once you feel comfortable with the script, you can optionally make it auto-apply every reboot:

not sure if it false reading or defect battery....
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] legacyofthevoid:
Same battery life here (doesn't matter I use sMiUI or CM13)

I am starting to think that the poor battery life is caused by mobile networks (i.e. some types of mobile network may consume more battery than others, so some of us get good battery life while some of us don't).
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] alexvv:
It's not network related. Network will worsen your battery life by 10% maximum. It's poor optimization and can be fixed only by xiaomi. Mi4s with just 200mah more can endure double time on standby so it really seems like a software issue. Miui is certainly not helping and while I love its features I haven't used a more power hungry software and miui services are constantly trying to run in the background. It's exactly the case with gsmarena test: great scores if you see them one by one and terrible standby time.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] voolandis:
Disabling cores means more time to process something = screen longer stays on, but you have to wait longer also.

Maybe its better to have it all snappy and get 4hrs of SOT, because you'll do more. Same amount of work for less time. :confused:
