[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flolaff:
Yeah I bought an iPod Touch 6 and used it for one week, now I have the SE and it's a real pleasure to use. I wouldn't have done that a year ago but now my use has changed and I don't really need android anymore. Actually there are really not so much that I miss from Android, it's really better for me (but of course it will depend on how you use your phone).

Otherwise the SE is faster, like REALLY faster, the camera is 100 times better and I prefer the form factor so I'm really happy for now :good:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
That's good news! The amount of accessories available for it are pretty cool. You can even buy iPhone 6 mini conversion housings for it. 4" are a bit too small for me however, 4.3" seems to be the sweet spot I'm always looking for. I'm a heavy root user and change the themes on my phone weekly so I'm not leaving Android anytime soon lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
sorry to disagree with you in certain things... well i have had 5 Xperia Z5 (the regular one) and since i'm into buying and selling Xperia phones, the Z5 compact and the Z5 Premium was the most impressive Sony phones... talking more about the Z5C because the Z5P didn't have for a long time to talk about it much... Z5 compact which i'm owning right now is very smooth and never lagged for me, the camera is great, front and back... the camera shot delay not really as you described it, it not as faster as the big Z5 but it's good! remember it's 2GB while the big is 3GB... most of the time i use the manual mode, and even with the auto... pictures are sharp, so i think you need to have steady hands or tripod.....

to summarize all about Z5C, it's a compact flagship that you won't find it's specs or capabilities in any other Mini from the other competitors....

....i know it's a user preference, but i'd be very honest to you to tell you switching from Z5C to iPhone SE is the dumbest decision i've ever heard about knowing that that iphone SE is a redesigned/redefined iPhone 5 or 5S....

i'm not biasing z5c because as i said, i didn't like the Z5 as much as i love the Z5C in everything, even though the Z5 is a bit more powerful with that extra ram, but the build quality in certain parts of the phone, Z5C has it better.

and i couldn't keep the Z5P because of the high price, so the half of it's price got me a Z5C which is more than fair and convenient for me.

now i have 2 Z5 compacts (im selling one for my friend).... the first i bought for $196 because i need to fix it's micro sd card slot, also with no accessories.. and the other for $276 without accessories but as brand new with no issues, and im keeping for me. also i noticed in Marshmallow both devices has the sound quality improved and more louder compared to 5.1.1 and they both equal in both speakers, with a dB meter test app.

don't be annoyed with my comment, and again it's a user preference but i wanted to share my experience with Z5c... so yours or mine aren't the reference for the Z5C but it could help others to have decisions before buying any phone.

thank you.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiTCHiE007:
Funny why you swapped to iphone but not a other android device that might service your needs. But shame to see that many only know 2 brands of phones.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roke2:
Well, let's agree to disagree. The Z5C is the best compact android phone (I still think that iPhone SE is better, but i can't forgo the versatility of android.)

What really disappoints me is that the older Z3 gets an Android N Developer Preview. I was like, what the heck! The older phone gets this privilege while the newer Z5 doesn't? It almost feels like Sony betrayed the Z5 users. But this is about the only Con of the Z5 though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HemRoyd:
I've had my Z5c for about a week. My current daily driver is a Moto X 2013. I'm really liking the the Z5c, but I have to admit I'm having trouble letting go of the X - its just a pleasure to hold and use. If Motorola followed Apple's lead with the SE and packed an updated package into the Moto X body, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I'll reserve comment on the Z5c and post in a more appropriate thread once I've spent more time with it. I'm not rooted yet (still on the fence) but once I threw some Nova Prime at it, I began to really enjoy my journey.

I totally agree with you. Add to your list Broken Adaptive Brightness. I'm planning to change the Z5C as soon as there a new Nexus.

Sent from my E5823
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flolaff:
Okay, but I feel like I would've get a way better experience with a Galaxy S6, which just is way better in everything, or even a Nexus 5X or anything. Part of the problem is the S810 which really sucks (Z3c was way smoother), and the other part is the camera. It is "ok" but compared to the S6/S7/G4/G5/5X/6P/6S/SE or any other flagship camera, it sucks, really.

And no, the SE is not "a redesigned iPhone 5". It has the specs of the iPhone 6s with a 4 inch screen, which is exactly what I wanted, and everything about it is way better than the Z5 Compact (except maybe the speaker).

I don't "only know 2 brands of phones". As I said, in the last 6 years I've had phones from HTC, Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Motorola and even some other brands that I forgot. I just feel like the only options right now for a really complete package are Samsung and Apple (maybe HTC but I don't really trust them anymore), and the S7 is too big for me, so I choosed the iPhone SE. It just seemed like the best option for me and so far I really like it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabi87:
Yep, I feel the same like you... Interestingly, I also used to have a z3c with the very good concept android 6.0 beta before a thief robbed it out of my hand... Well, I hoped the z5c would even be better.... But no, unfortunately, it's worse, even though the main hardware is better. The firmware is quite buggy and I absolutely agree that the battery life could be way better....

I am underimpressed with a few things about my Z5 compact, but I'll tell you why I will keep it: lanyard mount.

Hello. I have a Huawei P8 Lite ALE-CL00.

I insreted my 4G sim card but it did not work in 4G.

I thought first it was an unlocking problem. I used DC-UNLOCKER and i unlocked the phone. It acxepts the sim card bunt does not work in 3D/4G.

Automaticly roaming is activated and the phone works only in 2G.

What is the problem?

Can anyone say something about this?

THANK YOU
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] [BY]onicS:
I have a problem using application installed on miniSD. Everytime I open it, such us email client or IM, its run normally.

But, when i leave it running on background until device turn off automaticaly, the application exit when I wake it up.

Only appl installed on internal memory which keep run on background.

Is it because the exec standard ROM? or miniSD problem? or is it because something else?

Please help, since I dont want to waste my internal memory storage with installed appl..

thanx in advance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzalan:
It's because when the device goes to sleep, it cuts power to the SD-slot(among other things), to save battery. Maybe you noticed that when you play a song in WMP from the card, then let the device sleep, then wake it up again, the song will have disappeared. Or that Spb Insight, when having the articles on the card, will say "No storage card inserted".

So to solve this problem, you have to do what you don't want to do: install any apps that must run continuosly into the internal storage.

Case closed, hope it helped...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] [BY]onicS:
uhm, is it the universal standard activity? because when I used Blueangel this problem never happened?

there's any solution beside install on internal memory?

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Arangato:
Hi P9000 users!

I had now time to test some stuff with my P9000. One question: I inserted a Sandisk 128 GB SDXC Card (UHS) and formatted as internal Storage (want to move apps). Worked fine for the Phone and i was able to move apps to the SD. But after connecting Phone to USB (via MTP & unlocked phone) it only shows 32 GB internal SD. Also via File Explorer app on the phone i cannot find the external SD or mountpoint....

Anyone with same issue? :confused: I also changed connection-type to USB and then my OS (Win 10) does not open phone file system at all.

thx and br

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Jonny:
We did an article about the SD card memory management in Marshmallow a while ago on the XDA portal that explains this, I'd suggest googling for it as I can't remember the title.

Edit: Something to do with the SD card being formatted as Ext4 (linux file system standard these days) and Windows not supporting Ext4 filesystems.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Arangato:
Thx for reply, so i am afraid its related to Android 6 default behaviour. So if SD is formatted as internal storage you cannot access via USB from PC or managing files on it via file browser app? Thats really disappointing for me since it then switches SD card to enhanced app storage only, useless for image, videos, music etc. Of course i can format as portable SD, but then no movement of apps are possible (via root its maybe the only option).

In SD portable mode, i also had issue that SD cards randomly disconnects and one time it even needed to be reformatted. Have read about that in another thread, that this is related to physical sd mount... will see to fix this with some tape :/ (gives me not a good feeling here)
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Arangato:
Update: checked some forums and blogs, seems not to be android 6 default behavior that you completely cannot access the files on adopted SD-card anymore. after adopting as internal storage... anyone could also reproduce this? I will try doing factory reset with SD-Card inserted..

QK1 TAR File: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329068925

Prior version if needed:

QJ1 TAR File: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620769224

HOW TO ROOT USING MAGISK:

Flash stock with Odin. The latest build is posted above. Reboot and complete setting up the phone.

Download Magisk Zip and Magisk Manager APK (these are two different things, you need both) and place them on your phone. Download from https://magiskmanager.com/

Do the usual to enable Developer Options (tap on build number until you see it enabled) and set OEM Unlock ot on (this is a setting under developer options.) Make sure you do these steps.

Go into Download mode. Turn phone off. Hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. We'll do something similar in a minute.

Flash TWRP via Odin, but DO NOT REBOOT. TWRP is here, use the TAR file. https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/

Manually Power phone down by holding the Power button a really long time.

Manually boot into Recovery. Hold Volume Up, Home and Power. You should now be in TWRP.

Use TWRP to flash the Magisk zip file. When you reboot, you should be rooted.

Reboot and install the Magisk APK. Allow "Unknown sources."

You can still root your phone using SuperSU, but I am not supporting that.

Could you post any feedback that you might have on PD2 itself? Worth bothering with, or just a minor security thing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Jimmy1life:
Im about to go get my new replacement S6 and have a feeling its going to be on the latest firmware so good to hear it works on Pd2. Well TWRP works on PD2what about flashing supersu 2.71 in twrp does that brick it? Or did u use cfautoroot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
You'd be surprised actually, when I got my replacement, it came with the like second updat, lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
Twrp and supersu 2.71 work for me.

Nothing noticeable between pd2 and pb6 actually so if you are still good on pb6, let it stay there.

Has anyone figured out the battery drain issue with the latest version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Try the updated SkyHigh Kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
I use my own kernel ;) I thought it was something else inside the ROM part of the device. Like update Google Play Services causing unnecessary wake locks or something like that. Cause I heard people say it was bad with everything stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
We all know how busy you have been with school. The last update to SuperNOVA (a kernel beloved by many) was for PB6, if I am not mistaken.

I am not a good test subject; five minutes after a stock upgrade I am flashing a ROM.

That said, if you update to PJ1 and at least root, you can run Wakelock detector and Better Battery stats and see for yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
skyhigh kernel 3.36 made my phone auto-reboot 3-4 times yesterday out of nothing.

there are some ones else having the same issue in the kernel's thread....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I see a few people talking about reboots related to which CPU governor they are using. Ktoonsez selection seems to be problematic for some people.

I don't know what settings you are using, so it is hard for me to answer, but I would suggest that you do an Advanced wipe, then reload the stock TAR. See if you get reboots. Once you are satisfied that your phone is stable, add Root and Recovery. There will be a new ROM coming out soon and starting out with a clean base is always best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Yeah. I don't update base source for my kernel unless a HUGE change was made. Most updates are software side or pre built libraries. I actually don't even see anything beyond PB6 on Samsung's kernel site. Mostly I just update ramdisk when a new release drops. I have been using my kernel on all the latest updates so far with no issues. Just not on PJ1 cause of lack of time to update. I like to clean install when I update. But thanks for the info :) Will prolly update when I have free time so i can get the new bootloader and modem and such. :D You're the best koop!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Looking forward to an updated SuperNOVA kernel from [MENTION=2675647]elesbb[/MENTION] as posted on that kernel's thread. Having options is always good.

Regarding the Skyhigh kernel, for anyone who hasn't following the discussion there, the reboots seem tied to a particular configuration. "Yup, everything fine for me as well with interactive w/ battery prefs, it's only when i change to ktoonz and conservative."

The developer is working to solve those issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Please see the post below, there are no known issues in SkyHigh. Usually issues raised with reboots are usually the kernel protecting things as it should, it's just not obvious why. Anyway, have a look and hopefully it'll make sense:

Strange issue after flashing PL3

Sup guys,

I was finally making the jump from Renegade to Bigdaddy and needed to upgrade to PL3 first.

I did a factory reset, flashed PL3 and am now stuck on optimizing apps / reboot loop...

Progress gets to 31 of 31 and reboots again.

I've tried flashing via odin again, booting into recovery and wiping data/wiping cache with the same result.

I'm about to try a previous version incase PL3 is having issues.

Has anyone else experience this issue?

Before you do anything else, go into Recovery (Stock is fine) and do a Factory Reset. Give that a try.
