Personally I find Xperia Z5 Compact to be slow. I have Xpower 3.0 running with AndroPlus v36, yet it lags a ton more than the HTC One M8 did.

Planning to reinstall original firmware and root it without a custom rom. That seems to be the most stable option sadly. The thermal mod I use is called SmartTemperatureX and is working fairly good. Your phone will still overheat, but works a bit better with this mod. Overall I don't really like this phone that much, but it's not awful either. I don't really recommend it, if you can find any other phone you'd be happy with.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Saaber:
I'm pretty pleased with mine. I recently replaced a Z3 Compact with one, and it seems a fair amount smoother and faster, and the Ringke case I have is more comfortable to hold since it doesn't have all of the cutouts that the Z3 cases have to have. The only thing I don't like as much is that the front speakers don't seem quite as loud as the Z3's. With the X Compact's camera app installed, the camera is a lot faster than the Z3's too, which is nice since my wife likes me to take pictures of the kids, and they don't stand still for anything! :D I was also pleasantly surprised that the white Z5 Compact doesn't look nearly as cheap in person as pictures make it out to be. It has a nice pearl white paint job.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
I bought the Z5c, but is there a way to lower the cpu temp without root? Because i wont have time to root these days...

It doesnt heat as much i thought, heats up a little bit more than z3c. but not THAT much. I ike the design and I'm loving the phone, fast, smooth,small, everything i want/need in a phone!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I think MM got little memory leaks after long or heavy use, I got some lags too on XPower V3 after intensive use, a reboot usually will fix but it will come again if you are power user.

You can downgrade to LP, when I was with .152/.200 stock LP, I remember I don't have any lag at all. But since XPower V3 fixed my battery drain/radio active bug and MM got a much better mod camera, I've no choice but to stick with it.

Good to hear. I think you can tweak the speakers volume with mods or modifiy it by yourself, the file should be Mixer_paths.xml

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

.224 should be cooler and .253 is hotter probably pushing cpu harder and faster. You can do water cooling on street or in toliet. :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dario2510:
Hi man, what's the name of that cam mod you are talking about?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lelelelel:
Okey, quick update. Reinstalled original newest firmware, rooted, installed Xposed, installed SmartTemperatureX and finally installed FauxSound and a FauxSound-compatible kernel (Zach's). This means I finally got smooth, stable performance, great audioquality (no white noise anymore, yey :D) and enough customization :). Batterylife is also good.

I can finally say I'm happy with my device again. If you know how to tweak your device, it can become pretty powerful, as long as you don't install a custom ROM (in my personal experience).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
Hahaa, so I installed the .253 version, and i feel that its not heating as much as the .224. i'll write again after testing tomorrow or the day after.

And the .253 update remove the ability to change the keyboard height, now i cant make it smaller (the normal uses half the screen, thats a lot!) .

Add the OTG isnt working, tried everything. I've plugged my Sandisk OTG 64gb Thumb drive, and it didnt recongnize, when I clicked to detect usb device, same goes for my usb mouse(with OTG adapter).

I don't have the luxury to replace the phone with the seller or give to Sony to fix/replace

Can't change because it was the last one, and there's no such thing as an Official (any brand1) store in my city/country.

-Water cooling on a phone?

lol

edit: the keyboard thing its fixed , just needed to upgate the Keyboard app on playstore
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I only tested Xpower V3 and V4. There is one or two dedicated threads talk about .253 on sony talk support forum and mostly reported .253 get hot though most of them are just noobs or general user there. I can't real use .253 bcoz I got more bluetooth disconnection with it, .224 works much better to me.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] l_abaurre:
I had the Z3C and I've switched to the Z5C one month ago. So far, I must say the design is better. The waterproofing is more robust, the sound sounds (duh) louder, although definition is lost beyond a certain point. The device DOES heat up substantially when it shouldn't, but the temperature doesn't bother me. What it does is the possibility of CPU throttling.

I must comment on the LED notification light. It seems that mine has a part missing. It doesn't mix the colors. You can see the 3 individual RGB LEDs, so when you need a combination of the colors, you don't get it. In the other hand, pure R, G or B is very bright. The Z3C didn't have this problem and displays all colors nicely.

Now, this might be my specific case. I'm running stock firmware, stock OS 5.1.1 (32.0.A.4.11), E5823. I guess it came from china. I notice jitters and hang ups sometimes. Instagram crashes a lot, especially when I press on image tags. I can't update to marshmallow for some reason (my device is "up to date"). Battery drain is noticeable, compared to Z3C. Camera lags to open. Sometimes I feel my Z3C was snappier than my Z5C. I don't know.

All in all, I'm happy with the switch, but the overheating and LED situation kinda bums me out a bit.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Why don't flash stock mm tft via flashtool? Your firmware is too old and I suggest to flash .224 for better heat control. Remember to do factory reset after flash.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
So, after 1 week of usage with z5c

Without root, the battery drain is real, after moderate use, the battery lasts around 13h-14h, from 100% to 10%...

I really don't want to root yet, untill they find a way to use android pay with root on an locked bootloader ( DRM keys! ).

Today I'm groing to try with Stamina mode on.

edit: typo
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
So, after testing with stamina mode, it didnt change much ,the battery still drains, I'm not regretting the purchase, but it's a bit disappointing, because my z3c normally lasted one day and half.

On the Z5C,, 7am till 11:33am , from 100 to 68%. normal use.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] adryanodej:
from 7am till now, 7pm and i have 75% left .. with 2hours and a half screen on time.. The battery it`s very good... i think you have something that drains your battery .. try to install wakelock detector then go to settings menu and tick stats since unplug the device and then tick advance mode.. and you will se what app or process drains your battery. sorry for english ..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I've experienced many battery drain with stock rom too on z5c even fresh flashed stock tft via flashtool and no apps installed but still draining, donno what's wrong. The problem only completely fixed after I used XPower V3/V4.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bofis:
I recently upgraded to a Z5c from a Z3c and I have to say, this phone is improved in every way. The design of the speakers and power button with fingerprint sensor is great, and I've found battery life is better than I was getting on my Z3c. Note, I'm running XPower v4, rooted, bootloader unlocked, AndroPlus Kernel, TWRP, XPosed, Amplify, and Greenify (with Aggressive Doze). Only real complaint is there seems to be a lot less developer support, roms, etc on the Z5c right now, so I hope that picks up ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] lobie81:
I upgraded to a Z5C after my Z3C broke. They are very similar devices, obviously. Physically, the build quality of the Z5C feels better. The flaps on the Z3C were poorly designed and didn't last especially if you were opening them to plug the charger in every day. The flap on the Z5C is better and since the charge port isn't in there, you rarely have to open it. They are both very slippery phones. You'd be crazy to use either without a case. The finger print scanner is pretty good. It often takes 2 or 3 touches to unlock, but it does work. It's a good addition, but i don't use it all the time. There is no magnetic charging port anymore, but that's not an issue for me. There are also no reports of the build quality issues that plagued the Z3C, eg screen cracking, port covers failing and magnetic charging ports falling out.

Software wise, lollipop on the Z5C had a few issues. The camera took ages to launch, for example, but it's much better on marshmallow. Battery life also seems a bit better on MM than lollipop. We've been guaranteed a Nougat update by Sony.

There's no obvious differences in the two cameras. They can both take some great shots in decent light, but struggle in low light.

Overall they are very similar phones but most of the issues that existed with the Z3C have been fixed for the Z5C.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
So you did all of that, but the camera quality? I really don't want to lose the camera quality otherwise I would already done that.

The battery is draining a lot, and i can't find the source, I tried disabling location history and some other stuff I read in the forums, but it's still draining hard.

My Z5C is unrooted.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bofis:
Camera quality is identical because there are DRM-patches that restore functionality, and most kernels include it now. While Google Play Services is usually my top battery usage, my battery life has been better than on my Z3 Compact, and after being out all day yesterday, I was still at like 75% when I went to bed. Of course, I'm running a few things that limit what can run in the background, and Greenify makes it so Doze kicks in sooner and even while the phone is in motion in your pocket. But for you, disabling or removing any bloat that you don't use can't hurt, and doesn't require root.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
Interesting, can you tell me which tutorial did you follow? (if you followed any), the one that restores the DRM keys
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
No need to follow all MM kernels build-in DRM patch now.

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

Only if you wish to downgrade to LP then you probably need the DRM zip file to flash in twrp.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] KhaledAbdo:
I am about to purchase one of these 2 devices, so wanted to ask a few questions to help make up my mind .. Thank you for your help ..

How much does z5 over heats ? How many Celsius ? Does it overheat to the extent that I can't hold it?

When does it overheat ? During using camera and playing games only ? Or even on data Connection​ using Facebook or so ?

How good the battery compares? Which is better and how much Better ?

Is it expected to have more updates for z5 , like Android O ? Or is it definite No ? :D

Note: I am considering stock versions, with no customization at all for both .. ;)

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] smardu:
Z3c better in everything.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] PeppeBove:
Naaaa,

I had both of them, and... Z5c is not a great improvement...

But if you say that z3 is better, i think that it's not true at all

Inviato dal mio E5823 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] smardu:
I have them both and z3c is about 60% better in battery life, same usage, also the little cores on z5c are way slower and the big ones are just for marketing, in 99% of normal usage not used. And my normal usage includes sync on all the time, wifi, gps. Even when using uber or maps the battery on z5c drain is huge compared to z3c. In the end, z5c battery drains in about 16h compared to 28h on z3c.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] schumifer:
I have had the Z3c and have now the Z5c.

I take back my (stolen) Z3c any day. Really.

I don't really care about the extras the Z5c gives, i don't even think it is slow, warm or anything

BUT

The android phone is just as strong as its developing community. And that is also its trust strength.

With Z3c i had an ocean of VERY very good options to choose from. And all without unlocking the bootloader.

If you unlock the bootloader SONY can see it if the want, and this is no little thing to play around with when it costs that much money.

So i am stuck with my unrooted phone, not being able to try alternative roms, cameras, improvements till i decide i don't care about warranty...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tron510:
Do you use a custom rom? My z3c with the last concept update was extremely slow when opening apps. google now (i switched before google assistant took over) took forever to load and the keyboard never popped up without a long delay. And the battery life really was not much better than what i get currently with my z5c (plus hte z5c charges faster? maybe it's all in my head?)

switched to a x performance, but it's way too big for me (love the performance though) now i'm on a z5c on stock nougat. it's working ok, hopefully it will last me until someone makes a new compact phone (better the x compact?)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] smardu:
Z3c is running stock with clasic root, z5c is running systemless root.

I can say 7 is faster than MM but z3c is at least 60% better in terms of battery. Also, om z3c there is no lag when using maps, uber etc.

Anyway, in my opinion z3c is above z5c. Im running encrypted with corporate apps and this is my conclusion because I'm using both of them. I can say that z5, which i'm also having, is better than z5c in terms of speed, juice is almost the same but without lags..heat pipes...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] idlemen:
My xperia Z cracked (again...) and this time out of warranty no free replacment.

I really want an z5 compact or z3 compact, but it seems i can't find any deals for them.. I don't get it. the z3c is "old" by tech standards, and all i see are fishy looking ebay china sellers... If i had any idea they are reputable and will give me working phone, i'd buy once.

i might just have to buy a new overpriced z5 compact. the new Xperia X and XA and such don't attract me... they lost the IP certification and are somewhat overpriced in my view..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] inexkecible:
About Sony Xperia X, the camera quality is outstanding!

Now for the XA, the camera is not really good, my Z5C has way better quality and it's faster.

A friend of mine uses the android calendar as a task list, by setting an "appointment" for each task.

For example: instead of a task for "Call Kim, 2PM" she creates a calendar appointment from 2PM to 3PM.

This is really inefficient and difficult to manage so she wants to start using a tasks app. The problem is she has HUNDREDS of tasks to move.

Is there any way to automatically create tasks from calendar appointments?

Flash the original recovery and then put firmware(dload folder) in your sdcard and turn on your phone by pressing all buttons. The update should start automatically. Just wait 10~15 mins(even if the screen is black).

Then I used SIM card manager to change voice calls to be handled by SIM 1 but it always dials out on SIM 2.

I can't find any other settings relating to choice of SIM cards......does anyone know how?

I have it set to "always ask" for the time being as this is the only way to dial out on SIM 1.

Thanx for any help.
