So I picked up the amFilm glass screen protector the other day from Amazon. Out of all the glass protectors I could find on Amazon, this had the least amount of bad reviews. Also its sold by TechMatte which I had heard of before.

Anyways, it went on pretty easily. No loss of sensitivity as far as I can tell with using my Finger or the Spen after 24 hrs of use. 2 specs of dirt did manage to get under the glass, but I've almost gotten to the point I can ignore them, and I'm pretty sure if I try to remove it to get rid of them it will make it worse.

The dot matrix on the screen can be seen in some lighting conditions, but you need to look pretty close and not really a distraction.

It seems to fit fine with my Spigen Tough Armor case. My only beef so far is the edges are starting to collect lint/dust etcs. In about a month the surrounding edges of this protector may look really bad. But only time will tell.

I bought the same protector and installed it and only left it on the table untouched for a few days and it lifted off the screen so TechMatte sent me a new one but haven't installed it yet. I'm trying to use it with a Ringke Fusion case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] howie411:
So its been a little over a week since I put on the screen protector. My only big issue so far is when I hit the down arrow, it makes a noise like its lifting up the protector. Though looks at the protector it still seems glued down so not exactly sure what is going on. Maybe how its rubbing against the protector. TechMatte is sending me another free of charge to put on to see if that helps. As for the crud around the edges, I've just got used to it now. It isn't to bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Geekser:
I have used the am film screen protector on my S8 plus and Note 8. It works better than any other I have found. There are some cases that don't work well with it - it all depends on where the case fits on the phone in relation to the glass - if it touches the glass, it is going to lift up the corner or sides at some point. Ringke Fusion and a few others that I have tried work every well. Many of the screen protectors like am film added additional glue to the edges of the screen protector and the good ones included a guide that you use when installing the glass - if the screen protector is perfectly centered on the phone's screen, it works exceptionally well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Almighty1:
The glass clicking was what made me noticed the TGSP lifted as I can lightly touch and the entire glass would come off. I also have the Ringke Fusion. It was TechMatte who told me about the glue only being on the edges when I wrote them about it. I never even noticed there were less than full adhesive TGSP as I have used AmFilm on both the LG G4 and the iPhone 6S Plus without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] howie411:
Well, I thought I was going to love this screen protector. Unfortunately I ended up returning it. The edges keep lifting up, getting a ton of dust underneath the protector and I'm starting to loose sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Almighty1:
I actually used the original one that lifted with a Ringke Fusion case yesterday and while it worked fine without the case, it seems like the case is sticking in between the screen and the AmFilm which is what is causing the lift. I guess they could use better adhesive.

I haven't found a single thread where this link was shared, so I hope this thread helps someone, I tried making the title SEO friendly.

I've tried few of the available apks and they all work on my phone with systemless root and a Magisk module "Xiaomi mi a1 fixes" by TheZeroDev. You can enable manual focus on your mi a1 with skulshady_gcam_5.1.018_Mod_v3.0_manual apk. For the 2x functionality from stock camera, just select portrait mode, it will switch to telephoto sensor.

Basically you just enable camera2api and EIS through TWRP or Magisk and you should be ready to go. Also you can use a fix for long camera start. You DO NOT NEED PERMISSIVE SCRIPT. I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE YOU FROM PUTTING YOUR SELINUX IN PERMISSIVE MODE, your phone essentially becomes a lady in the middle of the street with it's legs open waiting to get "hacked".
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] enrique_fire:
Hi the manual version, it just zooms into the scene bro. Does not use telephoto lens. Test it by putting ur finger infront of it
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahuelvvn:
Also, the data of the portrait pic still says f/2.2 sensor (normal) instead of f/2.6 (the telephoto sensor)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
In my knowledge none of the GCam support Telephoto lense... :p
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] A14DWIN:
Oh yeah, that's my bad, I thought it uses telephoto lens, well hopefully someone mods it with functionality from our stock camera. Anyways, I haven't found this link anywhere yet, just few gcam apks, but I'll fix the misinformation. Manual focus is still new, haven't found a thread talking about it yet.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] flintfirewalker:
The new XZ2 compact was just announced at MWC. How is 5 inch screen now considered compact? The phone isn't that much bigger than Xz1 compact, but the reachability of corners on the screen is still going to be difficult.

I for one hate it. All the good things about the Xperia compact are gone. First of all, it's not a compact phone, just modest in size (almost like Samsung s8). And the awesome angular design is gone. That was unique nowadays - everybody makes rounded phones. I loved Sony's monolith design. And the fingerprint on power is also gone. Replaced by what everyone else has.

The only good thing is that it's as powerful as regular flagships, but then, it's almost as big as other flagships, so what's the point.

Today's very unfortunate. I hope my Xz1 compact does not die and keeps getting updates.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] kevev:
Agreed. And the worst rumor is that it won't have a headphone jack. That just sucks!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] maidguitar:
6mm taller, 1mm wider, rear fingerprint instead of side (best placement), no 3.5mm, 18:9 instead of 16:9, no thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] NadavCE:
Best thing about the XZ2C is that now the XZ1C's price will probably drop :P
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] vnbm:
Was disappointed when i heard 5 inch for a "compact". I fear this will mark the end of the true Compact (sub 5 inch) phone.

Perhaps my XZ1C will be the last compact I own. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] flintfirewalker:
That's exactly what I'm thinking. And that would mean, the last Sony phone I'll purchase. Too bad, loved the battery life on these phones. My only hope now is that the pixel phone at the end of the year does not increase it's screen size and reduces bezel like pixel2xl, maybe then it'll be manageable.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mirhl:
Even if you cut all bezels from a 6" phone, it still remains with a 6" screen?

Anyway, it's funny how compact is now perfect for guys with normal hands.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Halftrack:
Pretty much this. I already own an XZ1 Compact and if Sony continues on their current craptastic path I will buy another XZ1 Compact when my current one dies out.

If I wanted a 5" phone there are many other options out there that are well under the 700 dollar price point. And if I wanted a phone that looked like an HTC, I would buy an HTC.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mirhl:
Trivia: it was htc to "copy" sony (if really any). Look at "xperia P".

Also, I'm curios to know these [new] 5" phones. I'd sell my ass if they were any higher than the low mid-end.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
i think a 5" screen can be considered a compact phone nowadays, with all these new *****ng big phones being released, also considering it has virtual buttons that steal screen space. 4.6" and virtual buttons is little too small for me.. still.. the best would have been same dimensions and design of the xz1 I agree, with just less bezels and 5" screen! (really don't care if it had to be 16:9..)

plus, same thickness as xz1, or if you increase it, put a bigger battery!

i too liked more lateral FPS, but being on the back (and always on, so don't need dt2w to wake phone) i can leave with it.

also missing jack is not a good thing, but again not a big deal for me, as long as they ship the phone with the dual adapter, while in the office can both charge phone and use wired headphones for calls (out of office, if i use headphones, i already use bt ones).

i hate those damned curved panels though, making it almost impossible to find good tempered glass that perfectly fit... but better than Samsung style edge screens at least....

still it is a flagship in pretty compact shell, a pure rarity today, so may get one, if camera is really improved (especially low light) also considering with the preorder offer i could get nice wireless headphones i could sell, so final purchasing price for the compact one could be around 400€... not bad for a just released flagship!

i just really miss old good fm radio... but find me a small flagship with it..

I'm also tempted by the pixel 2 (great camera, stock android, updates) but it is bigger and those useless huge bezels.. plus it would still be more expensive..

...and i don't rely too much in new pixels.. I'm pretty sure new smaller pixel, if it will come, will have same dimensions as current pixel 2, but with bigger screen (so even more difficult to reach angles with one hand mode usage) and probably with that awful notch..? no thank you!

I prefer all the life more thickness, rear FPS, missing jack rather than having that damned notch! shame on all those who are copying apple.. even that pure sh*t new design! my god..

btw.. only sure thing is that for us liking nice portable phones is just becoming a real nightmare finding a new phone to "upgrade" to.. :(

...and sorry for the long post.. just needed to share my frustrations.. :p
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] kekistaneerefugee:
The saddest news of all with the 5 inch screen is that the Android compact is officially dead. I had to move to the iPhone when the SE came out to keep my compact flagship a reality because my xperia compact cameras sucked, I moved to the iphone 7 and 8 after, and now they are killing the sub 5 inch iPhone for all 6+ inch iPhones this year. iPhone 8 will be the last true compact flagship ever made most likely. COMPACT PHONES ARE OFFICIALLY DEAD. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
so you are saying the iphone 8 is the last true compact flagship, while the XZ2 is even smaller than the iphone 8? :rolleyes::confused:

it is just thicker, but I prefer a shorter phone rather than taller but thinner...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
not to mention the iphone 8 is bigger but with smaller screen... lol if I think we all (me included) always blamed sony for their huge bezels (up to the xz1 series) and apple always made (and is still doing, see 8 plus) even bigger bezels... well if apple fans are happy.. :D

btw, I pre-ordered the xz2c with the wireless headphones bundle offer... can't wait to try it out, hope the camera is really improved this time and can keep this new phone at least couple of years, really don't want to keep changing phone every year! :p:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] MechaBouncer:
I'm looking forward to it overall. 720p on previous Compacts is starting to feel a bit small and it's overall barely larger than previous Compacts despite being a 5" screen. I welcome the higher resolution, even if it does cost a bit more in battery life. Plus it now has 64GB onboard storage plus a MicroSD card slot. I should be able to fit whatever I want on it now. The missing headphone jack is rather disappointing, but not a total dealbreaker. So I'm planning to get one when it's available.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] glovesave:
I'm also looking forward to mine... pre-ordered from clove in the UK.

Go Sony
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] kekistaneerefugee:
Xz2 compact isn't a flagship just because it has a flagship processor, the camera is again holding it back from being relevant just like every single xperia compact before it :(

If we could go back to the 4.3" screen and reduce the bezels we'd have a winning phone. But 5" is MASSIVE and the reduced bezels are not enough for me to pick it over a pixel/Galaxy/iPhone if I have to compromise this much on screen size and camera. Its not that much smaller at all.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
i think you didn't read enough reviews of the xz2c.. or we did read different things.. the all i read, say this time camera really improved a lot, and is on par with other flagships. i even saw better pictures taken with the xz2c compared to some of s8 or even s9 ones..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] glovesave:
This statement makes no sense at all. Your only choice is the iPhone SE then unless there are other small screen phones in secret out there
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] charlatan01:
Exactly. Screen improvement is what I was waiting for. I don't mind not having a headphone jack, and shipping with Oreo means it'll have Treble support for some additional flexibility. Glass back devices are ridiculous, so that's a plus, and there's no notch in the screen.

Sign me up!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Sopur:
I really also hate the new design - its not a Sony anymore. I would like to have a copmact one with a 4.6" screen and smaler bezels: so the phone shoudl be smaler not the screen bigger!

And pls fingerprint on the side...

Best thing Sony coudl do: a SE of the XZ1C with 64GB, and better Camera :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] glovesave:
Maybe I'm just getting old and crabby but why go to a forum about a phone you don't like and talk about what you don't like...I just don't understand.

Nobody here runs Sony so the requests you'd like are just words.

Even better Apple well supposedly release a gigantic new SE model.

Mine should ship from the UK next week and I'm pumped to get the new xz2 compact in my hands
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Sopur:
I didn't want to harras someone. Hate is too strong, I just prefered the old design.

I thought, if there are enough complsins, it could have an impact on future models.

If I wouldnt have a XZ1c, I would also buy zhe XZ2....

(so it was with the Xc - I didn't want it, but because my XA1 broke, I switched..)

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
My all-time favorite phone shape-wise is the first Moto G. Felt great in hand, great in the front pocket of my jeans (I wear them semi-tight); the curved back was just ideal for both purposes. To my great thrill, it's almost identical in dimensions and - as far as I can tell - 'curvature' to the XZ2c. So I cannot wait for the latter to arrive.

The Xc and XZ1c, which I still own but have not used that much (stuck to HTC 10, then Pixel 1), look great (esp. the latter) design-wise. On a table, that is. Because I find the blocky format uncomfortable both in hand and in the jeans pocket - makes you look like you are carrying a pack of cards or cigarettes.

As for the size, I think 65x135cm is about as far up as you can go as a 'small flagship', before you enter medium territory (e.g., the Pixels).

Too bad the XZ2c lacks a headphone jack - almost killed it for me; but I will give it a try, especially now with the special pre-order offer (in my country, an SRS XB30 speaker for free, worth about a 100 euro).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] CaraMuuu:
Exactly my same thought. I remember at the time my brother had the Moto G, I had an LG G2 and I used to borrow his phone simply because it was more comfortable to hold. I just ordered my XZ2 Compact.

Regarding the 3.5mm jack, I do not care a whole lot about it because I switched to Bose bluetooth headphones recently, but I'm definitely not happy about the lack of it, I know there will be situations in which I will miss the jack for sure. I guess I will carry the adapter around inside my wallet just in case.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Dxue:
in the netherlands a bunch of people already got their xz2 compact. also a lot for sale for around 450 euro new. they ordered the phone for the free headset (Sony 1000XM2) that came with the pre order. and also some who are selling the headset. first impressions are that the phone itself is smooth and fast. the bloatware is still ok, but you can't uninstall the facebook apps (yes more than 1), avg app nor the amazon apps. (of course the sony apps can't be deleted either, but that is more understandable than 3rd party apps.) you have 47 GB for your storage so the rom itself is quite large.

the phone is way heavier than the z3c, but i like the feel of the xz2 better than the z3c. it even feels smaller almost like it could add a few mm to the width. The file explorer sucks big time.

i haven't used the screen without protection, because i applies nanofixit directly after pulling of the plastic. it is now very smooth and easy to swipe over the screen. wifi over ac is pretty good and the screen brightness is brighter than the z3c. call quality is good. haven't called much so can't say too much about it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
You have got the 1000XM2 for the Compact? In my country - Romania - you get the headphones for the big XZ2, and the BT speakers for the XZ2c... Both good deals, imho, but an 1000XM2 would have been terrific.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Dxue:
yes, we got the same headset for both devices. and the compact was was already available around 400 euro in combination with a phone plan (not sure what the correct term is in english, but essentially a 1 or 2 year contract with the provider). so it was a great deal!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] quack3d:
I got mine delivered yesterday with WF-1000X. Haven't played around with it much yet but its noticeably heavier than my XZ1 Compact. :mad:

Couple cool improvements from my XZ1C: One is the night mode which removes the blue light of the screen. Can be set to time period and/or activated with quick toggle. Another one is that glove mode is now available as quick toggle.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] zynexiz:
I don't really understand all the rants about the size, it's same with as my Z5 Compact, but a bit taller (which I actually found rather good). Yes, it's heavier and thicker, but actually lays better in the hand than the old Z5 Compact.

The headphone jack doesn't bother me at all (it's just one less hole that collects dirt), and a converter is included, so it's really not an issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
I made some tests about audio this weekend using my good old in ear beats audio. Comparing U11 and XZ2c the sound quality is about the same when using the included dongles. The Sony one wouldn't work on the U11, but HTC one worked on the XZ2c and was even louder without losing quality. Sadly the htc usb c headphones don't work acceptable when i tried them with XZ2c because they were far too silent.

All in all i think the included dongle is nothing special, but it is small and sound quality is still ok for listening music on the road.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] quack3d:
I'm actually sending mine back today. The main reason is the weight, but also no real improvement over my XZ1 Compact. Especially now that I got the night mode on my XZ1 C. The new glove mode as quick toggle is nice, but now the winter is over so glove mode is no longer needed.

How can 30 grams of difference be so important for you guys? I really don't understand, and actually i really don't mind hence my question
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] MechaBouncer:
I preordered mine from Best Buy. It should arrive this week. I'll be so glad to move on from the X Compact. This phone felt like a mediocre step aside from the Z3 Compact. I think it performs worse most of the time and has been laggy since Nougat. It's only gotten worse since then. I want something faster and the XZ2 will be as fast as I can get. Plus the higher resolution, 4GB RAM, and 64GB onboard storage will all be improvements. I'm also looking forward to the taller display to have some more visible room especially when using the keyboard with a number row (it gets too cramped on the 720p Compact display and cuts off too much of what I'm trying to write). I can't wait!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
I got mine yesterday. I love it, size- and design-wise. And I like the camera too - finally, I should say.

BUT... I have a major problem. In fact two. One: it's seriously laggy, no fluidity, terrible transitions (disabled the fancy stuff); by far the worst experience of this kind so far (the Xc and XZ1c are supersmooth by comparison).

Two (and this is terrible): it seems to have a touchscreen sensitivity issue. No matter where I am on the screen, it sometimes misses presses/commands (on average, one out of 5 or 6, let's say). Typing is a chore.

The phone updated twice, and I have hard reset it once. No change. Glove mode off now. I am terribly annoyed.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] optimummind:
Hmm, no issues for me of such kind. Mine's the US Unlocked model & I received an update today to the April security patch. Still no issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] quack3d:
Just holding it and using it one-handed got tiresome after a while compared to my XZ1 C. Didn't feel much weight difference in my pocket but obviously showed a larger bulk through my jeans.

You get SOME more visible space when using a keyboard with number row, but it's not because of the 1080p display but rather the 18:9 screen ratio. Try this on your X Compact: Settings - Screen - Screen size - Small (and optionally set font to large). I'm very pleased with the screen experience on my XZ1 C after I did this.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
That should be a plus, right? :)
