I thought the Z5C has better benchmarks? I don't really pay attention to benchmarks, all I really care about is real world usage. It's easy to spot that the X Compact is faster than the Z5 Compact in real world usage.

In the UK, on amazon, the X Compact is cheaper than the Z5C. I returned my Z5C because the charger wouldn't go in, if the Z5C was the same price I would've gotten that but I'm glad I didn't.

I think the Z5C is much more beautiful than the X Compact. X compact is easier to hold though.

I agree about the price tag (mine cost £360, exactly what I paid for the Z5C last year). There is definitely better phones for the money, but I have small hands :( :(

http://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-652-vs-802-whats-difference-686684/

Z5c SD810 got a much faster GPU over XC SD650 before it suffered from heating issue. XC is faster bcoz it got 3GB ram in multi-tasking or play resources hogging games. I've played XZ and XC in phone store, I don't think normal use XC faster actually I felt Z5c is acting faster with it's unbeatable gpu. And yes, I think XC is quite ugly.....
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] flyinglow:
I do own the phone, and the battery gives me several days which includes playing videos via 4g, number of phone calls constant data push notifications for emails etc.

I've not even started to tweak it yet as I don't feel the need. I've read a number of these reviews too, and things like 'the battery capacity is lower than [insert whatever]. A direct compare clearly isn't taking into account the fact that the XC sips its power carefully, rather than drinking pints at a time.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] theprince1991:
Agree. I charged my phone on Friday, was out for the whole weekend and only needed to charge it on Monday (this is with Google now turned off and email on manual checking).

With google now and email push I get 2.5 days of charge. Battery life is insane on this phone.

I don't know why people who don't own the phone feel like they're in a position to offer opinions or advice to other people.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

In real worlds usage XC is comfortably faster, do you even own this phone? Because it's very obvious it's much faster.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Notchr302:
The price of the XC is now $449. This makes it a no brainer imo. The z5c I had was slow as molasses

I have just bough one from eBay (brand new, sealed, two years warranty) for 361€. In Amazon UK now it's priced £359.99. The best money I've ever spent on phones.

It looks like Best Buy is selling the Black version at $299.99 for 4 days, and currently a $25 offer for using Visa checkout exists. Based on Slickdeals, that seems to be one of the lowest prices offered from a major retailer in the US to this point.

Thtat's the thing with all Sony phones. NEVER buy them when they come out. Wait 6 months until the price drops to normal level (where it should be). For some reason Sony phones have been horribly overpriced at launch.

I bought my X Compact this week for 299€ new with warranty. When it came out it cost around 550€ here.

Thanks for the reply, but the post is past 6 months, and in Hong kong the X compact has already been discontinued about 3-4 months ago, but i'm staying away from Sony as I think they have a design problem with their display, My Xperia ultra has a bright light bleeding patch with white colour, my X performance also had this, my X performance had the LCD changed 3 times, all had the same problem. Haven't had this problem with any of my other non Sony phones.

Dodocool Bluetooth Speaker with Camera Button

Unboxing

The Speaker comes with a mini package, solid-made with plastic, and basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x User Manual, and the Speaker (of course).

This Bluetooth Speaker is so compact that it fits in my hand without any issue, extremely portable.

Its Chassis is fully made with Aluminum, just the lower side is made of plastic required to fit the Microphone and the Camera/Power Button.

It can be charged with a Micro-USB Cable just like a Smartphone and the USB Port is placed on the back.

Sound Quality

As regards the sound quality it is pretty good and super-loud. The sound is clear, doesn't lack low-frequencies and considering the size of the speaker it is definitely a pretty good one.

Conclusions

Well i admit that a Bluetooth Speaker isn't so easy to review because the tests that can be made except Sound Quality ones are not so interesting, so if you find this review a bit incomplete just let me know and i will try to reply you in the best way possible.

This is a good-quality Speaker, featuring also an useful Camera Button (remote shutter) that can be pretty useful when you need to take some photos without handling the device.

So...do I recommend it? If you need a portable speaker that provides good sound quality, then this is a good choice.

Pros:

- Portable

- Good Sound Quality

- High Volume

Cons:

- A bit heavy

Rating: 8.7

Packaging and Accessories: 8

Design and Materials: 9

Sound Quality: 9

Price: 9 (based on Amazon price)

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I brought this phone back from Asia, and it seems it doesn't work in Canada.

OSPFv3 suggested I ask on an XDA forum about this. Apparently, the phone supports.

GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900

HSDPA 900 / 2100

LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Unfortunately, there are no carriers in Canada and none that I'm aware of in the United States that will work with these pairings.

Rogers was your best bet with the GSM 1900, but it seems you need both 850+1900. Unless you only tried data with your rogers sim?

Is there a solution with flashing the modem with an NA model's firmware?

Hi,

As there isn't a dedicated forum for your device here try posting your query is in:

You can hopefully find some support there. Try to include your model, firmware version and any other details you can to make it easier to help.

Good luck :)

Thanks, after the update will i have to root again?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U must install Stock Recovery first and unroot before upgrade. After that u must unlock bootloader and root again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JoseF:
Try to flash just the stock recovery.img but can't get it to replace twrp

Have used this cmd :

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

shutdown, start with power volume upp and down

Get always in TWRP not stock.

Please advise what to do

Or is another recovery.img I skall use?

Is this the right procedure ?

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
After flashing the stock recovery, you might want to boot to recovery first before doing a fastboot reboot to confirm whether the stock recovery was flashed properly.

Turn off the device (Keep holding the power button until the phone switches off) . Press and hold Volume UP key and Power key for a few seconds ( don’t press Power key so long ). Keep pressing Volume Up key until EMUI icon and Recovery mode menu appears.

Something went wrong here too... how do I do the full firmware update? Unzip and put all files (not only update.app) in dload and then the same dialer combination?

/R
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDeacon:
I flashed the full zip, it kept all my apps and settings, but it relocked the bootloader and removed root. I didn't think relocking was possible without a full wipe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I shouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader again via fastboot without wiping the device, right? If this'll be the procedure every time an update arrives, the Honor 8 will be a quite annoying phone to own.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaimoL:
Nevermind, I'm stupid.. only one file...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Everytime u unlock bootloader it wipes the phone.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDeacon:
Yes, that's my understanding, too. I was surprised to see that I got relocked after the update, though. Don't think that's ever happened to me before. Would the same thing happen if I would've flashed the OTA and not the full zip? Because if it would, then the flash freaks (myself included) would be in a world of **** using the Honor 8 - because whenever an update arrives, one would have to 1. backup everything. 2. flash stock recovery. 3. flash update. 4. unlock bootloader / factory reset. 5. reflash custom recovery / root. 6. restore backups and reenter all system settings.

That makes for a pretty unfriendly phone, if you consider custom recovery and root to be important.
